Once a rural fishing village, Balikpapan, Indonesia, has experienced explosive growth in recent years due to the petroleum industry, and is now an economic center and a hub of travel for the entire region. From here it is possible to travel into deeply forested regions where indigenous people live a traditional life. Along the way, travelers can also see the wildlife of Borneo in its natural setting. North of the city lies the Sungai Wain Protection Forest containing many wild species unique to Borneo. From Balikpapan, travelers can take a cruise down the Mahakam River to see untouched corners of the island, and only a short drive from Balikpapan is the Samboja Lodge Project, where native plants and animals grow in lush profusion. Balikpapan is also the starting point for forest treks that allow visitors to stay at local homes and see a lifestyle unchanged for centuries. Balikpapan is the gateway to the wilds of Borneo, land full of wonders.

East Kalimantan GeologyNumerous Tertiary, hydrocarbon bearing basins occur around the periphery of Borneo (Hutchison, 1989). A large portion of East Kalimantan is covered by the Kutei Basin. The Kutei Basin is the largest (160000 square kilometres) and deepest (12000 to 14000 metres) Tertiary basin in Indonesia.Formations of the Kutei Basin are essentially a succession of eastward prograding deltas. The stratigraphic succession around the tenement area is summarised in below Tables. Formations developed within the tenement area are highlighted in yellow.Stratigraphy of the Samarinda QuadrangleAgeFormationLithologyThicknessUpper Middle MioceneBalikpapan Formation (Tmbp)Alternating quartz sandstone, silty claystone and shale with intercalations of marl, limestone and coal.
