The major source rocks are limestone and mudstone of Mamberamo, Darante and Makat Formations.The intra-formational sandstone and limestone are reservoir rock. Darante- Makats play, Mamberamo B-C-D member play, and Mamberamo E member-Koekoendoeri play developed in the block. The northern zone in the block has good hydrocarbon accumulation conditions and good exploration potential. This is the key zone for next exploration
