GEOLOGY OF SERI ISKANDAR WITH EMPHASIS ON RESERVOIR ROCK POTENTIAL

This dessertation discussed primarily on the necessary properties of a rock to become a good oil or gas reservoir. Secondary discussion of the interim report would be in term of the general geology of the studied area and porosity and permeability of the surrounding rock in constituents of the primary discussion for further explain the necessity of the required properties with the reservoir potential. A good reservoir properties of a rock is mostly based on its porosity and the interconnectivity of the pores within the rock or in other words is the permeability of the rock. The porosity and permeability of the rock form in two stages which are primarily during the deposition of the rock and secondarily after the depositional of the rock which caused by whether diagenesis or tectonic events. The focus of this dissertation is to study and determine the potential of the outcropped rock around the study area to become a good reservoir rock in the subsurface. Proving the presence and potential of a reservoir rock in a petroleum system could lead to new hydrocarbon exploration if other elements of petroleum system such as source rock, trap, cap rock and migration also present. A studied was conducted to determine the general geology of Seri Iskandar with the emphasis on its surrounding rock potential to be a reservoir rock in doing so produce more detail geological map of Seri Iskandar. In addition to that, determine the potential and contribution of reservoir rock in Seri Iskandar in unproven Paleozoic petroleum system of Kinta Valley
