Tunu is a giant gas field located in the present-day Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Tunu gas produced from Tunu Main Zone (TMZ), between 2500-4500 m TVDSS and Tunu Shallow Zone (TSZ) located on depth 600 - 1500 m TVDSS. Gas reservoirs are scattered along the Tunu Field and corresponds with fluio-deltaic series. Main lithologies are shale, sand, and coal layers. Shallow gas trapping system is a combination of stratigraphic features, and geological structures. The TSZ development relies heavily on the use seismic to assess and identify gas sand reservoirs as drilling targets. The main challenge for conventional use of seismic is differentiating the gas sands from the coal layers. Gas sands are identified by an established seismic workflow that comprises of four different analysis on pre-stack and angle stacks, CDP gathers, amplitude versus angle(AVA), and inversion/litho-seismic cube. This workflow has a high success rate in identifying gas, but requires a lot of time to assess the prospect. The challenge is to assess more than 20,000 shallow objects in TSZ, it is important to have a faster and more efficient workflow to speed up the development phase. The aim of this study is to evaluate the robustness of machine learning to quantify seismic objects/geobodies to be gas reservoirs. We tested various machine learning methods to fit learn geological Tunu characteristic to the seismic data. The training result shows that a gas sand geobody can be predicted using combination of AVA gather, sub-stacks and seismic attributes with model precision of 80%. Two blind wells tests showed precision more than 95% while other final set tests are under evaluated. Detectability here is the ability of machine learning to predicted the actual gas reservoir as compared to the number of gas reservoirs found in that particular wells test. Outcome from this study is expected to accelerate gas assessment workflow in the near future using the machine learning probability cube, with more optimized and quantitative workflow by showing its predictive value in each anomaly.
