INTRODUCTION:

SARULLA FIELD

After the exploration survey was carried

out, Unocal has drilled a total of 13 deep
exploration wells scattered in the
Namora-I-Langit, Silangkitang and
Sibualbuali fields. In Namora-I-Langit
there are four wells being drilled and all
of them are very productive, meet many
people and have a high permeability
distribution which is not directly
controlled by the Great Sumatra Fault.
The wells all produce fluids with
temperatures in excess of 260 ° C, with a
maximum rated temperature of 276° C.

LITHOLOGICAL

SARULLA FIELD

The Sumatra Fault System plays an important role in localizing activity of magma and high flow
rate of hydrothermal fluid as seen in present. The Sumatran Fault System itself consists of
northwestward-moving faults in line with plate edges and in accordance with a model of active strike-
slip fault. Along the Sumatran Fault System, it is found in the extension regime (normal fault),
translation regime (strike-slip fault) and contraction regime (reverse fault).

Furthermore, there are three zones on The Sumatera Fault System, namely stable zone, relatively stable
zone, unstable zone
The Rock Series from Sumatera Fault System
which through the Sarulla Field

Tapanuli group
The Tapanuli group was formed from inseparable sedimentary
rock and weakly metamorphosed rock. This type of rock sediment
is very diverse, which is generally immense (not stratified), sandy,
and contains fragments of clastic from a schisst, quartzite, and
limestone. Based on the stratigraphic position and fossil analysis,
this group is estimated from the age of Carbon-Early Permian.

Toru Volcanic Formation

The formation of Toru volcano that forms the study area is tertiary
volcanic sediment. The rock, which forms this formation are
agglomerate andesitic, lava andesitic, breccias, and rhyodacitic
ignimbrite. Andesite sometimes has porphyritic texture with
minerals of plagioclase or pyroxeres.
Toba Tuff
Toba Tuff that is found in the area of study generally takes the
form of volcanic sediment. It consists of sandy tuff, crystal tuff,
and pumice tuff. Sometimes, insertion of volcanic breccias is found
among the tuffs. In several places, this tuff may contain quartz
and mica. Near the source of hot spring water, it is caolinized very
strongly.
Toru Formation
This formation occupies the widest part of the project area. It
generally consists of tuff sand, does not have layers, is relatively
soft, and is sometimes silty. The Toru formation has very various
positions of rock slope, which may be caused by movement of Toru Fault.
This formation is found all along the road from Tarutung to
Sipirok in km 23 and 31 m, with thickness of its weathered soil of
0.5+3 m.
River Alluvium
Alluvial sediment of the river as the youngest sediment is estimated
to be from recent age. It comprises free gravel, sand, silt, clay,
some peat, and carbonate clay. This sediment is formed in the
fluviatil to lakustrin environment. In Graben of Tarutung and
Sarulla, this rock often contains cracks of Toba Tuff and Toru
Formation, dacitic and andesitic tuffs, lava, mudflow, ignimbrite,
rhyolitic vault and andesit of gap eruption.

argillites, and limestones interpreted to be

of late Paleozoic age. These strata are
exposed on both sides of the SFS in the
Barisan Mountains, along the margins of the
Sarulla graben, and in uplifted fault slivers.
Mesozoic or early Tertiary granitic intrusives
are not exposed within the Sarulla area,
but occur within 15 km of the western
margin of the map area

Based on the results of the study conducted, it can be concluded that the Sarulla Field is
Conclusion
proven to be one of Indonesia's enormous geothermal energy potentials, with an estimated
supply of up to 330 MW. The existence of the interaction of faults along the Sumatra Arc
and volcanoes from the ring of fire has implications for the formation of fractures that can
be fed by hot springs. In addition, through the geophysical method in the form of a
magnet, it can be seen the distribution of anomalies that indicate the presence of reservoir
rocks and caprock. The Sarulla field has been identified as having an entire geothermal
system based on the results of geological and geophysical analysis so that it has proven to
be a huge potential in providing geothermal energy.
