This is the 6^th Annual Seminar / Workshop (S5) that supports the technical activities of the EPPM Program and participated by representatives from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam.  The objectives are to enhance the knowledge of the CCOP Member Countries with the current state-of-the-art in carbon capture and storage and discuss the opportunities of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the region.

The Seminar/workshop was organized by the CCOP Technical Secretariat in cooperation with PETRAD and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources through the Geological Agency Indonesia and Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). The aims are to enhance the knowledge of the participants on the role of CCS in mitigating the impact of GHG to climate changes, assessment of potential geological storage of CO₂ and to prepare the participants for their important role as a case study country in the CCOP CO₂ Storage Mapping Program (CCS-M).

P1W6 is the 6th workshop under Project 1 (P1),Petroleum Resource Management with focus on Natural Gas ofthe EPPM Program and organized by the CCOP Technical Secretariat with the cooperation of PETRONAS, Malaysia.  The objective is to continue with the basin analysis of North Sumatra – Mergui basin (cross-border case study) in order to have a better understanding of the big geologic picture of the basin to enhance geological interpretations and predictions – translating into higher drilling success rates. 

·         Enhance the knowledge of the participants in identifying the various play types in the case study basin and potential risks on these plays, and

·         to perform prospect / play risking and volumetric calculation.

A geological fieldwork was organized by PETRONAS in Labuan Island to look into shallow marine and deep water formation outcrops that are analogues to the case study basin.
