CORRELATION OF ONSHORE-OFFSHORE TERTIARY BASIN OF SOUTHWESTERN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA

This project is focused on 3 Malaysian tertiary basins: The onshore Batu Arang Basin and
the offshore Port Klang and Sabak Graben. This project aims to determine the basin
formation history and the mechanism driving the rifting. The methodology consists of
deep marine seismic interpretation, seismic facies analysis, structural analysis,
geomorphology and regional tectonics fieldwork in achieving the project’s objective.
The research on the regional tectonics will be aided by the study on Shuttle Radar
Tomography Mission (SRTM) data rendered in Global Mapper 15. Structural analysis of
Port Klang Graben is conducted to map out the basement faults in relation to rifting
during the Eocene and the syn-depositional sedimentary structures in the basin.
