West Natuna Basin
The West Natuna Basin is located in the South China Sea between the Malay Peninsula and the Natuna Islands. It is bounded by the Khorat Swell basement high to the north, the Natuna Arch basement ridge to the east and the Sunda Shelf basement high to the south. The basin is open to the Malay Basin and is essentially the eastern end of that basin.
The West Natuna Basin tectonic elements are both the NE-SW extensional trend and the NW-SE transtensional trend. The Natuna Basin was formed by multiple extension events in the Late Eocene and Oligocene. Post-rift subsidence in the Early Miocene was followed in the Mid Early Miocene by regional compression which persisted into the Late Miocene and to a lesser degree is still evident today.
Among the formations within the West Natuna Basin, some are potential hydrocarbon source rocks. They are the Barat Shale, Keras Shale and Benua Shale. Probably the most prolific hydrocarbon source rock is the Benua Shale, which exists deeper than the others
