Sibayak geothermal field is situated in the northern Great Sumatra Fault Zone (GSFZ), which has high topography inside Singkut caldera. From the geological point of view, Sibayak field is a potential geothermal area supported by the occurrence of surface manifestations such as solfataras, fumaroles, chloride springs and silica sinters. To investigate subsurface geological structure, reinterpretation of the Magnetotelluric and gravity data were carried out. Two-dimensional modeling of MT data using MT2Dinv software and 3-D visualization of the MT data using GeoSlicer-X have delineated clay cap with resistivity of 5-10 ohm. Reservoir zone is indicated by slightly higher resistivity (50 - 200 ohm-m) below the clay cap located in the depth of about 1600m. Center of reservoir is probably located in the area between Mt Sibayak and Mt Pratektekan covering about 4 km². The gravity data modeling supports the existence of main structures, those are Singkut caldera and faults zone oriented in the northwest - southeast direction. Based on this study, it is recommended that the production wells shoud be located to the central of reservoir and reinjection wells should be sited to the area close to the main reservoir which has permeability connection, that is in the southern caldera boundary."

"Salah satu metode geofisika yang dapat digunakan untuk eksplorasi panas bumi adalah metode gravitasi karena metode ini dapat mendeteksi batuan dibawah permukaan berdasarkan variasi medan gravitasi yang disebabkan oleh perbedaan densitas batuan. Dalam sistem panas bumi, salah satu objek yang sensitif terhadap kontras densitas adalah batuan reservoir. Oleh sebab itu, metode gravitasi sangat tepat digunakan untuk mengidentifikasi batuan reservoir. Batuan reservoir memiliki densitas batuan yang relatif rendah akibat efek pemanasan dari heat source, sedangkan batuan non-reservoir disekitarnya memiliki densitas batuan yang lebih tinggi. Kontak antara kedua batuan inilah yang akan dideteksi oleh metode gravitasi dan selanjutnya dimodelkan dengan metode inversi dalam 3D. Metode inversi dilakukan karena bersifat lebih objektif dan sesuai dengan keadaan asli dilapangan dibandingkan dengan pemodelan forward. Pemodelan juga dilakukan dalam 3D untuk memberikan gambaran yang lebih jelas tentang batuan dibawah permukaan, tidak hanya dari satu penampang saja. Sebagai justifikasi letak batuan reservoir, dilakukan analisis patahan menggunakan analisis derivatif berupa First Horizontal Derivatives FHD dan Second Vertical Derivatives SVD . Identifikasi patahan ini akan membantu menganalisis keberadaan dan bentuk batuan reservoir karena patahan berperan penting sebagai zona recharge dan discharge yang mengarah menuju atau keluar dari batuan reservoir.

One of many geophysical methods that can be used for geothermal exploration is gravity method because this method is able to detect subsurface rocks based on the variation of gravity field that is caused by the difference of rock density. In geothermal system, one of the object that is sensitive to density contrast is reservoir rock Therefore, gravity method is the appropriate method used to identify geothermal reservoir. Reservoir rock has a relatively low density as a heating efect from heat source, while non reservoir rock has higher density. The contact between these rocks will be detected with gravity method and further will be modeled with inversion method in 3D.

Inversion method is applied because it is more objective and suitable with the real condition rather than forward method. Modeling is also done in 3D to give a better representation on subsurface area, not only from one section. To justify the location of reservoir rock, subsurface structure analysis using derivatives analysis which are First Horizontal Derivatives FHD and Second Vertical Derivatives SVD is done. Structure identification will help analyzing reservoir whereabouts and its form because subsurface structure has an important role as recharge and discharge zone of the geothermal system that aim towards and leave the reservoir rock."

"Walaupun sudah diprediksi dapat menghasilkan sebanyak 20 MW energi listrik, Lapangan Geotermal “T” masih belum dapat mencapai target tersebut bahkan setelah dibornya lima sumur. Dengan data dari lubang bor yang sudah tersedia, dilakukan analisis keberadaan feed zone untuk mencoba memetakan lapisan permeabel serta kemenerusan struktur geologi di Lapangan Geotermal “T”. Hasilnya, lapisan permeabel terduga reservoir berada pada rentang kedalaman 800 – 1400 m, dan dipotong oleh dua sesar normal yaitu Sesar Banda dan Sesar Banda-Hatuhasa yang menerus hingga kedalaman ±1400 m Kedua sesar tersebut memiliki arah kemiringan ke tenggara – selatan, dengan besar kemiringan 50° (Sesar Banda) dan 70° (Sesar Banda-Hatuhasa).  Selain itu, data temperatur bawah-permukaan dan data geokimia Na/K menunjukkan bahwa pusat sistem panas bumi adalah G. Eriwakang. Dari hasil analisis tersebut, diperkirakan lokasi pengeboran terbaik untuk meningkatkan temperatur fluida panas bumi yang diekstraksi adalah dengan membuat sumur yang lebih dekat dengan G. Eriwakang dengan menargetkan sesar baru.

The previously predicted 20 MW electrical energy producing “T” Geothermal Field still has not reached said target even after five wells being drilled. Earlier studies showed that the center of geothermal system in the area was predicted to be below Mt. Eriwakang all along and not below Mt. Salahutu – Mt. Kadera as JICA had reported. Using temperature, pressure, and lithology datas acquired from existing wells, feed zone analysis were done in order to map permeable layers and faults’ continuities beneath the surface. The results showed that the major permeable layer is located at around 800 – 1400 m beneath the surface, being cut by two, 1400 m deep-normal faults named Banda Fault and Banda-Hatuhasa Fault. Both faults has shown south to southeast dip direction, facing the field’s heat source and upflow zone with dip value of ±50° for Banda Fault and ±70° for Banda-Hatuhasa Fault. Through subsurface temperature data and Na/K ratio analysis it is predicted that Mt. Eriwakang is the center of the geothermal system. From this analysis, it is assumed that the best location for drilling to increase extracted fluid’s temperature in the future would be near Mt. Eriwakang while targetting faults other than Banda and Banda-Hatuhasa."

"Daerah penelitian “M” merupakan salah satu daerah yang memiliki potensi geotermal di Indonesia. Hal tersebut ditunjukkan dengan adanya struktur geologi dan kemunculan manifestasi di permukaan yang dapat membantu dalam mengidentifikasi keberadaan sistem geotermal di bawah permukaan. Penelitian ini menggunakan inversi 3-dimensi magnetotellurik untuk mengetahui distribusi resistivitas di bawah permukaan, penentuan area prospek, serta pembuatan model konseptual dengan integrasi data magnetotellurik dan data pendukung berupa data geologi, geokimia, dan gravitasi. Berdasarkan data pendukung geologi, daerah “M” terdiri dari susunan produk vulkanik berumur kuarter dan struktur geologi dengan arah barat laut-tenggara. Dari data pendukung geokimia, ditemukan endapan travertine di sekitar manifestasi mata air panas yang relatif bersifat netral, temperatur cukup tinggi, dan berasosiasi dengan struktur geologi. Fluida di mata air panas tersebut dominan bertipe bicarbonate water yang menandakan fluida berasal dari reservoir dan dominan telah terkontaminasi oleh meteoric water. Fluida tersebut juga dominan memiliki nilai klorida tinggi yang menandakan bahwa lingkungan manifestasi mata air panas berada di lingkungan vulkanik. Selain itu, perhitungan dengan geotermometer diperoleh dugaan temperatur reservoir berkisar antara 160°C-180°C. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan inversi 3-dimensi magnetotellurik dan data pendukung berupa model forward2-dimensi gravitasi diketahui sebaran dari variasi resistivitas dan densitas bawah permukaan yang menggambarkan lapisan clay cap, top of reservoir, dan bentuk updome yang kemungkinan merupakan heat source. Lapisan dengan nilai resistivitas rendah diduga merupakan clay cap atau batuan penudung berupa sebaran batuan beku yang mengalami alterasi. Di bawah lapisan clay cap terdapat sebaran resistivitas medium yang diindikasikan sebagai reservoir berupa batu gamping bahbotala. Di bagian bawahnya terdapat lapisan dengan resistivitas tinggi yang kemungkinan adalah batuan metamorf yang menjadi batuan dasar/basement. Diantara basement ini terdapat bentuk updome dengan resistivitas sedikit lebih tinggi yang diduga merupakan batuan terobosan atau intrusi yang dapat menjadi sumber panas bagi sistem geotermal. Sumber panas ini diduga berasal dari Dolok Tinggi Raja dikarenakan terbentuknya dome di permukaan yang mungkin diakibatkan oleh adanya larutan magma yang tidak tererupsikan keluar permukaan sehingga membentuk batuan terobosan di bawah permukaan. Adanya sumber panas ini dapat menimbulkan aliran fluida panas secara vertikal (upflow). Berdasarkan integrasi data-data tersebut, area prospek geotermal di daerah “M” diperkirakan berada di sekitar Dolok Tinggi Raja melebar ke arah timur laut, timur, dan selatan.

The research area "M" is one of the areas with geothermal potential in Indonesia. This is indicated by the presence of geological structures and the appearance of manifestations on the surface which can assist in identifying the presence of subsurface geothermal systems. This study uses 3-dimensional magnetotelluric inversion to determine the distribution of resistivity below the surface, determine prospect areas, and construct a conceptual model by integrating magnetotelluric data and supporting data in the form of geological, geochemical and gravity data. Based on supporting geological data, the "M" area consists of volcanic products of quarter age and geological structures in a northwest-southeast direction. From supporting geochemical data, travertine deposits around hot spring manifestations were found which were relatively neutral, had relatively high temperatures, and were associated with geological structures. The fluid in the hot springs is dominant of the bicarbonate water type, which indicates that the fluid comes from a reservoir and has been predominantly contaminated by meteoric water. The fluid also dominantly has a high chloride value which indicates that the manifestation environment of the hot springs is in a volcanic environment. In addition, calculations with the geothermometer obtained an estimated reservoir temperature ranging from 160°C-180°C. Based on the results of 3-dimensional magnetotelluric inversion modeling and supporting data in the form of a 2-dimensional forward gravity model, it is known that the distribution of resistivity and subsurface density variations describes the clay cap layer, top of reservoir, and up-dome shape which may be a heat source. The layer with a low resistivity value is thought to be a clay cap or a cap rock in the form of a distribution of altered igneous rocks. Beneath the clay cap layer, there is a medium resistivity distribution which is indicated as a reservoir in the form of bahbotala limestone. At the bottom, there is a layer with high resistivity which is probably the metamorphic rock that became the basement. Among these basements, there is an up-dome with slightly higher resistivity which is thought to be a breakthrough or intrusive rock which can be a heat source for geothermal systems. This heat source is thought to have originated from Dolok Tinggi Raja due to the formation of a dome on the surface which may be caused by the presence of magma solution that has not erupted off the surface to form breakthrough rock below the surface. The existence of this heat source can cause a vertical flow of hot fluid (up-flow). Based on the integration of these data, the geothermal prospect area in the “M” area is estimated to be around Dolok Tinggi Raja, widening to the northeast, east, and south."
