Abstract
hore Tertiarybasins are the major hydrocarbon reservoirs in Malaysia. Since
the production of conventional reservoirs are depleting, it is necessary to target new
potential reservoirs e.g. Pre-Tertiary and/or unconventional reservoir, to fulfill the
demand. Among these, fractured reservoirs in hard competent rock, have proved to be
interesting in Southeast Asia (i.e. Vietnam). Kinta Valley of Perak is a suitable
candidate for a potential Pre-Tertiary reservoir, since carbonaceous schist can be a
good source, plus the highly fractured and karstified limestone which potentially
provided enough porosity and permeability to be an economic reservoir. This study
aims to identify deformations in the rocks andpropose a regional structural history of
the Kinta Valley. Besides, hot springs have also been studied to evaluate the fracture
system that controlled the flowing offluid. Multi-scales of analysis (regional, outcrop,
hand specimen and microscopic) have been conducted in the study
