WELCOME ADDRESS
by
Dato Yunus Abdul Razak
Permanent Representative of Malaysia to CCOP
For the benefit of our eminent guests to this opening ceremony, please allow me to say in brief
about CCOP. CCOP is an acronym for The Coordinating Committee for Geoscience
Programmes in East and Southeast Asia. It is an intergovernmental organization whose mission
is to facilitate and coordinate the implementation of applied geoscience programs in the said
Region in order to contribute to economic development and the improvement of the quality of
life.
Member Countries which constitute CCOP are Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan,
Korea, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste,
and Vietnam. There are also 15 number of Cooperating Countries and 13 cooperating
organizations. The Cooperating Countries and Cooperating Organizations together with the
Technical Secretariat located in Bangkok, initiate programs related to capacity building,
technology transfer, exchange of information and organizational linkages for sustainable
Assalamualaikum WW
Allow me to extend warm welcome to all participants in this 48th CCOP Annual Session in this
beautiful Langkawi. On behalf of CCOP Family I would like to thank the Government of
Malaysia in supporting and hosting this event and also the 59th Steering Committee Meeting next
9-10 November 2012, because of the courage of the Minister of Natural Resources and
Environment Malaysia this meeting can happen today.
As you may recall that we missed the CCOP Annual Session last year due to the flood covering
part of Thailand. Today we now assemble here with the same spirit of upholding strong
cooperation among us in enhancing application of geoscience for the benefit of economic and
social welfare of the people in CCOP member countries.
Recently the world is facing global financial crisis, of which the effect is still felt until now.
Economic growth in many industrial countries is slowing down; causing reduction of exports
from developing countries to the industrial countries. Besides, China which is an energy
consuming country also reduces its energy demand and raw material of its industries. Decreases
of energy demand such as coal also causes the price of coal declines. At the same time mining
commodity also declines, this situation urges mineral rich countries have to be more efficient in
running the mining operation and also more efficient in utilizing gains from this non-renewable
resources. The impact of global financial crisis is also reflected by declining support from
cooperating countries and cooperating organisations to CCOP especially in the form of long term
projects.
ASEAN and East Asia are the most dynamic regions and show prominent economic growth in
the last 10 years. This remarkable growth brings consequence, namely need of enormous energy
and clean water, in many parts conversion of land use due to industry and urbanisation has
dramatically increase and massively taken place. Land conversion also takes place in geological
hazardous areas, making more difficult in disaster risk reduction efforts. All these lead to
environmental and humanitarian problems. The implication of growing economy is that
continuous efforts to explore and to find energy sources are a must. Research and exploration
on renewable energy sources and non-conventional fossil energy should be carried out
continually and cooperatively. Better ground water management is essential, through
conservation and prudent water utilisation. Disaster risk reductions from geological are done
through improved technology and methodology.
Climate change is the other important issue that should be addressed persistently. There is
growing evidence of links between climate change and sea level rise, heat waves, droughts and
rainfalls. Report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggests that the
intensity of tropical cyclone will increase as a result of warmer waters. In regard to Hurricane
Sandy just hit east coast of US, it is said that sea temperature of US norhteast coast are about five
degrees Fahrenheit above average. Moreover, sea levels along the coast are rising up to four
times faster than global average, making the region is more vulnerable storm surges and floods
and massive landslides triggered by high rainfalls.
For East Asia and South Asian countries the natural threads are clear, such as like storms and
also geological hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanoes and land slide.
What we can do then? The world needs more cooperation, collaboration among governments,
private sectors, academia, and international organisations to improve understanding on natural
Finally, I personally and on behalf of the Member Countries of CCOP wish a successful and
fruitful 48th CCOP Annual Session and enjoy staying here in the very enchanting place of
Langkawi. Thank you very much and May God blesses us forever.
Wassalamualikum wr wb,
Yang Berhormat Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Joseph Kurup, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of
Natural Resources and Environment Malaysia
His Excellency Mr. Nguyen Hong Thao Duta, Ambassador Of The Socialist Republic Of
Vietnam To Malaysia
Yang Berbahagia. Dato Yunus Abdul Razak, Director General, Minerals and Geoscience
Department Malaysia and Permanent Representative of Malaysia to CCOP
Dr. R. Sukhyar, Chairman for the CCOP Steering Committee, Head of the Geological Agency of
Indonesia and Permanent Representative of Indonesia to CCOP
On the occasion of the Opening Ceremony of the 48th CCOP Annual Session, I am very pleased
to deliver a special message on behalf of the Advisory Group.
First it is my pleasure to thank the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and
Environment Malaysia, Yang Berhormat Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Joseph Kurup, for taking
the time from his busy schedule, and gracing us with his presence here today. As well as the
Ambassador of Japan to Malaysia, His Excellency Mr. Shigeru Nakamura, and the Ambassador
of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to Malaysia, His Excellency Mr. Nguyen Hong Thao Duta.
For many of us this is our first visit to the beautiful coastal city of Langkawi but not the first to
Malaysia. Several of us were fortunate to attend meetings about geosciences in different cities of
Malaysia and we are most grateful to our colleagues in the Minerals and Geoscience Department
Malaysia for their warm welcome, especially Yang Berbahagia. Dato Yunus Abdul Razak,
Director General.
During our Annual Meeting we will have many important things to consider, including a review
of the many activities and achievements that have been made by the Coordinating Committee for
Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) during the past two years.
On behalf of the Advisory Group I would therefore like to congratulate Dr. R. Sukhyar,
Chairman of the CCOP Steering Committee, and Dr. He Qincheng, Director of the CCOP
Technical Secretariat for all the efforts and thoughtful actions that were realized during the last
time.
Most probably we do not need to remind ourselves that the past two years have again proved the
importance of the need for geosciences to satisfy basic human needs and as a corner stone for
economic development, poverty reduction and good governance. Therefore it is just sequentially
that the Steering Committee has chosen to focus on this topic at the Thematic Session on the
theme Geoscience Innovations for Sustainable Development.
As Geoscientists we know that georesources such as mineral resources, energy resources, water
and soil are crucial parts of the livelihood of present and future generations. Overexploitation or
the improper use of these resources in many countries are not only responsible for inadequate
access to these resources by the poorest sections of the community but also for shortages in
overall supply and therefore a cause of many social and environmental problems.
Due to this crucial theme there is no doubt that we can look forward to important presentations
and discussions about this subject. I am certain that the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience
Programmes in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) has an important role to play in such issues.
CCOPs ability to consider such complex issues has always derived from the willingness of the
Member Countries and Cooperating Countries to work together, and be very successful across
national and cultural boundaries. This unique CCOP cooperation has been based upon the
conviction that improved geoscience knowledge and education are key to a safer and better
world. CCOP projects have had a demonstrable impact, in technology transfer, and personnel
training.
Once again, on behalf of the Advisory Group, I sincerely thank the Government of Malaysia for
hosting the 48th CCOP Annual Meeting. We are most grateful to the Malaysian people and our
Malaysian colleagues for their warm welcome and hospitality.
Please allow me to close this special message with the very beautiful motto of Malaysia
Bersekutu Bertambah Mutu: Unity is Strength.
Dato Yunus Abd Razak, Director General, Minerals and Geoscience Department Malaysia and
Permanent Representative of Malaysia to CCOP;
Dr. R. Sukhyar, Chairman for CCOP Steering Committee, Head for Geological Agency of
Indonesia and Permanent Representative of Indonesia to CCOP;
Dr. David Prior, Chairman for CCOP Advisory Group;
Dr. He Qingcheng, Director, CCOP Technical Secretariat;
Distinguished Delegates;
Ladies and Gentlemen;
A very good morning to all of you.
It is indeed a great pleasure and privilege for me to extend our warmest welcome to all the
delegates who come from all over the world to Malaysia. I would also like to extend my warm
welcome to all of you to this 48th Annual Session and 59th Steering Committee of the
Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programmes in East and Southeast Asia or better
known as CCOP. It is indeed a great privilege for Malaysia to host this prestigious event for the
third time. The first two sessions were held in Kuala Lumpur in 1994 and 2003 respectively. I
also feel greatly honoured to be here this morning amongst such an eminent group of
distinguished geoscientists from not only this region but also from abroad. Langkawi Island was
chosen to host this event for several reasons, among others being the first Geopark in Malaysia
and Southeast Asia. I sincerely hope that your stay in this beautiful and historical island will be
full of invigorating moments.
CCOP was founded based on the mission to facilitate and coordinate the implementation of
applied geoscience programmes in East and Southeast Asia in order to contribute to economic
development and the improvement of the quality of life in the region. By this establishment,
CCOP promotes capacity building, technology transfer, exchange of information and
institutional linkages for sustainable resource development, management of geo-information,
geo-hazards mitigation and protection of the environment. Since its inception 46 years ago, the
organization has achieved many accomplishments as well as successfully overcome significant
challenges such as rapid urbanization and sustainability of economic and social development
through coordinated approach to training, research and the supply of data and information. We

2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1. Summary
In 2011 China continued to maintain the rapid development of its oil and gas resources.
Proved reserves of oil are 1.342 billion tons, of natural gas 722.482 billion cubic meters.
Crude oil production was maintained 203 million tons and natural gas production was101.2
billion cubic meters.
The new proven geological reserve of coal bed methane was 136.733 billion cubic
meters and total proven reserves are 417.64 billion cubic meters.
China carried out the assessment of potential and favorable areas of national shale gas
resources. China's first horizontal well for shale gas was drilled (Wei 201-H1 well) and tested
gas capable of production.
China carried out onshore and offshore gas hydrate exploration and metallogenic
theory and distribution prediction research, the exploration technology research and
development, drilling and production technology research and development, test technology
and simulation studies, database construction and strategy supporting research.
By the end of 2011, China hsd built 2.13 million km of crude oil pipelines, 2.04 million
km of refined oil product pipeline, and over 5 million meters of natural gas pipelines.
In 2011, the 8,704 km-long Second West-East Gas Pipeline was completed, the first in
China to import overseas gas resources from Turkmenistan. Consisting of one trunk and eight
branches, it is connected to the Central Asia-China Gas Pipeline at Horgos in Xinjiang Uygur
Autonomous Region, and reaches Shanghai in the east and Guangzhou and Hong Kong in the
south. The trunk, 4,978km long, and 1,219mm-thick, can transport 30 billion cubic meters of
gas per year.
The overseas M & A activity of China's oil companies concentrated in the deepwater
and unconventional shale gas field in 2011. A total of 127.48 billion RMB (about USD 20.23
In 2011, China carried out the evaluation of conventional oil and gas resources in the
Songliao Basin and Liaohe Depression of Bohai Bay Basin, and oil shale resource evaluation
in northeastern regions. The first systematic investigation and evaluation of shale gas
resources was conducted through investigation and evaluation of the national oil and gas
resources strategy constituency.
The management of oil and gas resources is standardized and orderly, and management
tools have constantly been improved.
In 2011, CNPC continued to increase its resources and expand its market. The newly
added proven oil and gas reserves were 715.12 million tons and 487.9 billion cubic meters
respectively.
In 2011, CNPC produced 107.54 million tons of crude and 75.62 billion cubic meters
of natural gas at home. In particular, Daqing continued to produce at 40 million tons and
Changqing produced more than 40 million tons. Overseas projects produced more than 100
million tons of oil equivalent in 2011, of which CNPCs share was more than 50 million tons.
2.2.2 Exploration
In 2011, domestic exploration resulted in newly proven oil and gas in place of 715.12
million tons and 487.9 billion cubic meters, and proven oil and gas reserves exceeded 1
billion tons of oil equivalent. The newly proven reserves were mainly contained in
lithostratigraphic reservoirs and low permeability reservoirs that are deeply buried but are
massive in scale and producibility. The oil reserve replacement ratio remained above 100%.
New breakthroughs were made in major exploration blocks in Sichuan, Bohai Bay,
Qaidam, Ordos, Junggar, and Hailaer basins. Gas exploration in the Sichuan Basin identified
the great potential of the Sinian System. Exploration in the deeply buried hills in Bohai Bay
Basin showed favorable prospects. In the Ordos Basin, the Lower Palaeozoic strata became a
new exploration target. Lithologic reservoirs with abundant reserves were discovered in the
Jurassic System in the Junggar Basin.
In addition, CNPC made major progresses at Jiyuan and Sulige in the Ordos Basin,
Tazhong and Tabei in the Tarim Basin, Chuanzhong Xujiahe formation in the Sichuan Basin,
Qibei-Chenghai block in the Bohai Bay Basin, north (oil) and south (natural gas) in the
Songliao Basin, Jimusaer Sag in the Junggar Basin, Kunbei in the Qaidam Basin, and Fushan
Sag in the North Bay Basin.
In 2011, domestic oil and gas production of CNPC reached 167.79 million tons of oil
equivalent, up 2.8% year-on-year. In particular, natural gas contributed 36% of the companys
total oil and gas production.
In 2011, CNPC produced 107.54 million tons of crude oil in China, 2% higher than
the previous year. Despite the challenges of ultra-high water-cut, Daqing continued to
produce at an annual level of 40 million tons, of which more than 13 million was attributable
to tertiary recovery represented by polymer flooding and ASP flooding. Attributing to the
efficient and massive development of low-permeability reservoirs, Changqing produced more
than 40 million tons of oil equivalent, with an average increase of more than 5 million tons for
each of the past four years. In particular, 5.5 million tons of oil was produced from ultra-low-
permeability reservoirs.
In 2011, CNPC produced 75.62 billion cubic meters of natural gas domestically, 4.3%
more than that in 2010. The gas production of Changqing registered another year of rapid
growth in 2011 to 25.8 billion cubic meters. Tarim produced more than 17 billion cubic
meters of natural gas. Production capacity building projects in Sulige and Gaoqiao was
pushed forward. Sulige has become the largest gas field in China.
CNPC carried out the exploration and development of CBM, shale gas and other
unconventional oil and gas resources. It not only expedites the construction of CBM industrial
bases, but also promotes shale gas demonstration projects.
2.2.6 CBM
In 2011, CNPC enhanced CBM production capacity building in Qinshui Basin and the
eastern edge of Ordos Basin. CNPC newly proved 78.7 billion cubic meters of CBM, built
additional 0.35 bcm/a production capacity, and supplied 420 million cubic meters of
commercial CBM. CNPC made a breakthrough in the exploration of low-coal-rank CBM with
the discovery of the first medium-to-low-coal-rank CBM field of China in the Baode block on
the eastern edge of the Ordos Basin. A production test has shown that the block is
characterized by early gas show, rapid production increase, thick coal seam, good
permeability, and high bottom hole pressure.
SINOPEC has also identified regions in which to build production capacity for coal bed
methane.
In the development of crude oil, SINOPEC focused on steady production in eastern China
and growth of production in western China and actively promoted technological
breakthroughs and tests on horizontal drilling and multi-staged fracturing.
In the development of natural gas, SINOPEC focused on gas projects in the Sichuan
Basin and the Ordos Basin.
Thermal recovery was adopted to accelerate the integration of heavy oil production
capacity, enhance the application of engineering technologies in reservoirs and realize the
different development of low-permeability reservoirs. Fine characterization of fractured
vuggy reservoirs was further strengthened to enhance production capacity building.
In 2011, CNOOC had net proved reserves of 3.19 billion BOE, including approximately
0.27 billion BOE, and total net oil and gas production of 909,000 BOE per day, including
49,270 BOE per day.
In 2011, CNOOC continued its efforts in exploration and achieved a high record in the
amount of investments in exploration, drilling and 3D seismic data collection work.
CNOOCs exploration work has produced fruitful results with a reserve replacement ratio
reaching 158%.
In 2011, new discoveries were made in core areas mainly included Kenli 9-1, Bozhong
34-3 and Bozhong 34-4 in Bohai as well as Weizhou 12-1S and Weizhou 11-7N in Western
South China Sea.
In addition, CNOOC made its first commercial discovery, Wushi 17-2 of Wushi sag, in
the Western South China Sea, and the area may be developed into a new oil zone. The
successful discovery and appraisal of the oil and gas structures of Enping 23-1 resulted in
expansion of Enping sag in the Eastern South China Sea.
In 2011, through carrying out the research on reservoirs, refining water flooding, and
enhancing the hourly production rate from oil and gas fields, CNOOC has been able to
maintain a steady growth of oil and gas production from the producing fields, realizing a net
production of 331.8 million BOE.
CNOOC had a heavy-loaded engineering construction program with over 10 new projects
under construction in 2011, major projects expected to commence production in 2012 include
Panyu 4-2/5-1 adjustment project, Weizhou 6-9/6-10, Yacheng 13-4 and Liuhua 4-1. Other
new projects under construction, including Suizhong 36-1 phase II adjustment and Kenli 3-2
regional development, are expected to commence production after 2012.
Overseas development, operations are mainly in Asia, Africa, Oceania, North America
and South America. CNOOC has shifted from traditional oil and gas resources to
unconventional oil and gas resources such as shale oil and gas as well as oil sands. Overseas
reserves, production and oil and gas sales revenue account for 28.6%, 21.1% and 13.7% of
CNOOCs total reserves, production and oil and gas sales revenue, respectively. In 2011,
CNOOCs overseas development achieved the following: firstly, expansion of the shale oil
and gas business in the U.S., secondly, expansion of the oil sands business in Canada, and
thirdly, tapping into the Alberta Basin, a major basin to be developed in East Africa.
CNOOC has established a number of major projects on key technologies in 2011, mainly
focusing on major technology aspects including: new areas and technologies for offshore oil
exploration, efficient development and enhancement of oil recovery from offshore oilfield,
deepwater oilfield development projects and exploration and development for low porosity
and low permeability oil and gas fields.
To provide strong technical support for new discoveries of oil and gas reserves and to
maintain and increase oil and gas production, CNOOC increased the research and application
of its exploration development technology in 2011. By using the new technology combined
with exploration, drilling and testing, CNOOC successfully conducted drilling at the Bozhong
21-2-1 wildcat, the deepest exploratory well in Bohai, at a depth of 5,141 meters with the
discovery of natural gas, which substantially expanded the exploration territory of the Buried
Hill Structure in Bohai. Oil pipeline acidizing technology was first applied to the horizontal
wells in the Bohai oilfield, which effectively reduced pollution and improved the production
capacity. In the Suizhong 36-1 oilfield, blockage removal technology for horizontal wells has
been successfully applied to six production wells, enhancing the osmotic pressure of oil pay
with increased yield.
Up to 2011, CUCBM owned 1,900 wells in total, with proved reserves of 107 billion
cubic meters and 1,100 million cubic meters of production capacity per year. By the end of
2015, the proved reserves will reach 300 billion cubic meters, production capacity will
exceeds 5 billion cubic meters per year, and production will be over 4 billion cubic meters per
year.

5.1 Summary
In 2011, China collected the previous geological investigation data within the working
area in the five main coastal economic zones, i.e. Bohai Economic Rim, Yangtze River Delta,
Pearl River Delta, Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone and Beibu Gulf, and the urban
agglomeration in the middle reach of the Yangtze River, also compilation of 1: 250,000
geological environment series maps of bedrock geology, Quaternary geology, hydrogeology,
engineering geology and environmental geology was completed through combining with the
field investigation work. Proposals on strategy were presented with the analysis of major
geological environmental problems in order to provide the geological basis for the regional
economic and social development plans.
The positive results of the specific investigation for the active fault, coastal erosion
deposition, karst collapse and other major environmental geological problems had been
obtained through the 1:50,000 environmental geological investigation in the Caofeidian,
Binhai New Area of Tianjin and other key areas. For example, the investigation of Circum-
Bohai Sea Economic Zone provided an important basis for the addressing development of
international ecological town, seawall design, and construction of coastal highways. The
investigation for the urban agglomeration in the Western Taiwan Straits Economic Zone and
the middle reach of the Yangtze River provided fundamental data for the planning and
construction of a comprehensive experimental zone in Fuzhou, ground subsidence in Wuhan,
prevention and control of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan soil and water contamination, and the
emergency water supply in Poyang Lake Economic Zone.
Work also focused on the promotion of information from the geological investigation
of eight cities such as Chongqing, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Tangshan and so on through combining
the geological investigation of 1:50,000 hydrogeology, engineering geology and
environmental geology in key areas. The construction pilots for the three-dimensional
geological environmental information system of Wuhan Metropolitan Area and Caofeidian
Industrial Zone was completed, thus it provides a technical support platform for the
realization of cluster industrialization of the geological data information services. The
construction of geological environmental information system in the pilot area of Wuhan
Metropolitan Area was completed, a three-dimensional geological model was established with
an automatic modeling method. The pilot work for the information system construction of
Caofeidian Industrial Zone was completed and the pilot work at science and technology
demonstration hall was carried out in the Caofeidian Industrial Zone. At the same time,
application of the information system in the implementation of the project provided direct
technical support for the project.
The potential estimation for the shallow geothermal energy resources of China was
completed. Specifically, the shallow geothermal energy resources of China are equivalent to
9.5 billion tons of standard coal, the annually available resources are equivalent to 350 million
tons of standard coal, and therefore 650 million tons of carbon dioxide emission can be
reduced in case of full utilization. According to the evaluation of shallow geothermal energy
resources of Tianjin and the work experience in the development and utilization pilot, the
evaluation of national shallow geothermal energy resources was completely started in 29
capital cities, and the field work for the evaluation of shallow geothermal energy resources
was basically completed in the 12 capital cities started in the first batch.
The carbon dioxide geological storage potential in deep saline formations, oil fields,
gas fields and CBM fields in China, and the atlas for the evaluation on potential and
suitability of carbon dioxide geological storage of 165 sedimentary basins was basically
compiled. The construction for the demonstration project of Erdos carbon dioxide geological
storage was completed by cooperating with Shenhua Group with the safe injection of more
than 10,000 tons carbon dioxide, the monitoring system for the migration and escape of
carbon dioxide was primarily established to provide demonstration experience for the
implementation of carbon dioxide geological storage in China.
The total annual karst carbon sequestration with 37 million tons in China was
recalculated through field investigation and monitoring of four types of areas, i.e. the southern
karst area, northern karst area, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau karst area and Buried karst area in China,
so as to more scientifically and comprehensively reflect the distribution of carbon
sequestration in the current karst areas of China. The study on carbon sequestration shows that
weathering basalt in China had a large potential for carbon sequestration, which can be in line
with the level of karst carbon sequestration; and the experimental study found a microbial
technology which can significantly accelerate the carbon sequestration of ultrabasic rock
tailings, and therefore the technical and economic feasibility for the carbon sequestration of
tailings was improved.
GEO-INFORMATION SECTOR
Geo-information work at CGS in 2011 and 2012 has made good progress in capacity
building for geo-informatization in the whole procedure of geological survey and national
geo-database development, database updating and maintenance. The main achievements were
as follows:
Functions of the general base platform of the digital geological survey system in CGS
have been expanded and optimized. Research on 3-D and multi-dimension geological
modeling has also been carried out. A multi-dimension geo-spatial data model and
interoperability scheme have been proposed. The swap file layout has been defined and a test

A geological survey information grid (GSI-GRID) platform has been developed which
consists of 17 distributed nodes based on GRID and Cloud GIS and other leading information
technology. The platform is the biggest geo-grid of China and can be used to integrate
management of mass and heterogeneous spatial data and provide national public geological
information services.
CGS Office System has been optimized and expanded with application in several
regional centers. A project management system, work deployment assistant system and
remote monitoring and control system for field work safety have made progress and been put
into application. The technical framework consisting of service, work deployment, production
monitoring and schedule control has been set up and has already promoted cooperation and
sharing ability for geo-spatial information within CGS.
The general design of functions, system architecture, and security mechanism and so
on of a geo-environment warning system has been completed. Some modules of data
processing have been developed, such as frequency of geo-disaster, rainfall and warning
result diagnoses. A test service node has been set up.
All Light real time transmission system which is suitable for geological survey work
has been developed and launched. The system has the ability to transfer video, audio and data
to the backbone network of the China Geological Survey. The pilot of management service
and safety guarantee system for geological survey based on Beidou satellite and IP satellite
technology has been accomplished. The system for either truck-based or portable use has been
optimized in application.
Some key and advanced information technology has been studied for possible
application in geological survey, such as Internet of Things for geological survey and
achievements management, digital watermarking for intellectual property management, work
flow for geological work deployment, 3D grid for geo-earth and so on. A series of tool
systems have been developed.
Development of the digital 1:50000 geological map database is still on-going, and
360 sheets have been digitized, coordinated and put into the database during 2011 with an
achievement of a total of 3079 sheets finished by the end of 2011. The national spatial data
base of 1:250000 geological maps has been finished and consists of 375 sheets of newly
mapped data in which there are 122 sheets in Tibetan plateau. Over 30,000 sheets from 33
measuring areas of aerial images have been scanned and the quantity has reached 11TB.
Several national databases have been updated, such as the work index database, mineral
deposits and ore field database, geo-information metadata database and work deployment of
geological survey database. A framework of integrated management for the geo-databases has
been designed.
Some 20 kilometers of important core specimens have been collected and scanned
in to a database in 2011. A investigation covered 1219 work units for drill hole information
and around 600000 drill holes were checked, which has laid a solid information basement for
national geological drill hole database development. A trial drill-hole database has also been
investigated and about 200 000 meters geological drill data have been collected.
China has provided solid support through CGS for CCOP in the field of geo-
information especially in the training of CCOP geo-information metadata standard and web-
based data managing software CCOP-GIMS both in Malaysia and Cambodia and also daily
software system maintenance in the past 12 months.
CGS has launched a project on Integrated Geophysical Data Processing (IGDP) for
CCOP this year as planned, in order to enhance ability building in the field of geo-data

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1. Summary
World market prices for some mineral commodities have tended to increase recently
caused by political turmoil and economic policies in some countries and this has triggered an
increase in mineral exploration activities in Indonesia. Various local and foreign companies
continue to engage in intensive exploration activity. The Miwah project in Aceh, Belu
Manganese Project in the Belu Regency of West Timor, Lakuwahi project on Romang Island,
the Randu Kuning project in Wonogiri Regency, Suruh and Timahan prospect, Trenggalek
Regency, Soro Arc Exploration in East Sumbawa, Tumpangpitu project, Banyuwangi
Regency and the Tembang Gold and Silver Project in Central Sumatera are several projects
that are still ongoing and are expected to find new resources of metallic minerals in Indonesia.
Chinas policy of termination of rare earth exports has increased the price of these raw
materials for worldwide high technology usage. These resulted in a shift in demand for
mineral commodities which also affect mining activities in Indonesia. The Geological Agency
of Indonesia is actively conducting REE exploration in anticipation of providing preliminary
REE exploration data and information.
Resources and reserves of metallic minerals continue to change with exploration and
production activities of existing companies. Of these, Grasberg, Batuhijau, Gosowong,
Pongkor is still the largest contributor of resources, reserves and production as well as gold
and or copper in Indonesia. While Soroako, Pomalaa, Weda Bay, P. Gag and Tanjung Buli is
the largest contributor of resources and reserves of nickel.
Total resources and reserves of some metallic minerals in Indonesia as atl 2011are
described in table 1.
2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1. HYDROCARBON
2.1.1. Summary
Indonesia, like most developing countries, is a fossil-fuel driven country. The primary
energy source fueling Indonesias economy continues to be oil at 50% in 2011. Coal
consumption is becoming more widespread accounting for 24% as the second most consumed
fuel, surpassing gas at 20%. Coal will be the primary domestic energy source, particularly to
fuel new power generation capacity. Hydro and other renewable sources share 6% in the total
energy mix.
Indonesias crude oil production has been declining since 1998, due to maturation of the
countrys largest oil fields and failure to develop new, comparable resources. Oil production
of existing fields naturally declines by approximately 12% per year. By making continuousl
efforts, this production decline could be controlled and limited to about 3% per year.
According to the Directorat General Oil and Gas, Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources, the total of Indonesian oil reserves in 2011 was 7,732 million barrels, consisting of
proven reserves of 4,040 million barrels and potential reserves of 3,693 million barrels. With
the total production of 339 million barrel a year in 2010, this means that the proven reserves
are sufficient for only about 12 years if additional proven reserves are not acquired.
Additional oil reserves could be found through the successful implementation of EOR
technologies in potential fields and by exploration drilling in hydrocarbon basins which are
not yet explored.
In contrast with oil production, Indonesias gas production has been increasing since
2007 and is still expected to grow further in the coming years. The increase of gas production
is prioritized for domestic needs. The total of Indonesian gas reserves in 2010 amounted to
153 trillion cubic feet, comprised of proven reserves 105 trillion cubic feet and potential
reserves 48 trillion cubic feet. With the total production 3196 billion cubic feet a year in 2010,
it means that the proven reserves will last for only about 33 years if there are no new
discoveries.
Driven by the fact that the reserves replacement ratios (RRR) for oil and gas are only
36% and 41% respectively, while domestic consumption does not show a significant decrease,
efforts have been prompted to develop unconventional hydrocarbon resources in addition to
renewable energy resources.
In recent years, acceptance of coal bed methane (CBM) as an alternative natural gas
supply is evidenced by the increasing number of operating area licenses issued by the
government. The first gas production for electricity from CBM is targeted for the end of 2011.

In finding oil and gas reserves, exploration consisting seismic survey and exploration
drilling is undertaken. In 2011, exploration drilling was done in 99 wells of 237 planned
wells. The number of development wells reached 905 higher than programmed of 895 wells as
shown in Figure 6. Recently, it is noted that KKKS operating in Indonesia is 256 KKKS, in
which 67 KKKS are in production, while 157 KKKS are in exploration and 50 KKKS are
CBM.
In the last 3 years, the bidding for oil and gas working areas tends to decrease due to
lack of good quality data. To encourage investors to be interested in developing oil and gas in
Indonesia, the government has to try to improve such data, especially survey and seismic data
quality. To address this issue, a workshop organized by the Geological Agency of Ministry of
Energy and Mineral Resources was held on June 2011 to set up a Road Map for Upstream
Exploration of Oil and Gas.
CBM exploration and development has intensified in Indonesia in recent years,
particularly since the first Production Sharing Contracts were awarded in 2008. At the same
time gas prices have risen sharply, to $11/Mcf in Central Sumatra and $15/Mcf in East
Kalimantan. (Note that gas prices are 5 to 10 times higher than in North America.)
In March 2011 BP and ENI (VICO) established the countrys first commercial CBM
production, exporting liquefied natural gas from the under-utilized Bontang liquefaction
facility to the high-priced north Asia markets. This project established the worlds first export
of CBM-to-LNG, several years ahead of the Australian plants under construction. ENI
estimated CBM production could reach 420 MMcfd by 2020 from their 13-Tcf block.
ExxonMobil, TOTAL, Dart Energy, and Santos also are testing CBM PSCs, some quite close
to CBM Asias interests. To date, there are 52 active CBM Production Sharing Contracts
across 11 different basins. Figure 1 depicts Indonesias CBM contract area map as of August
2011.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1. Summary
Due to the soaring metal prices in 2009-2010, many of the public institutes related to
mineral resources and mining sectors in Japan have actively conducted exploration and
exploitation programs of overseas mineral deposits and prospects. In particular, the
acquiring of rare-earths (RE) resources from countries other than China is the most urgent
matter because of the sharp reduction of RE supply from China. The budgetary measures
in FY2010 and 2011 for mineral securement strategy were significantly strengthened by
the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). From the latter half of 2011 to
2012, the prices of light RE largely declined because of the drop of RE demand and the
reopening of Mountain Pass mine in the United States. However, heavy RE is still an
important target of mineral exploration by public and private sectors in Japan, because the
price hovers at ten times more than that of 2009.
3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1. Summary
The Groundwater Research Group of GSJ/AIST is implementing five research projects; 1)
study of coastal deep groundwater, 2) study of ground-coupled heat-pump systems, 3)
construction of hydro-environment map, 4) technical transfer to Southeast Asian
countries, and 5) basic study for groundwater hydrology. We have organized a
groundwater research project as Phase II in the CCOP Project from FY 2009 to FY 2013.
The project will release a map of hydrogeological information that reflects the latest
scientific data of the Chao-Phraya Plain, Thailand and the Red River Delta, Vietnam.

5.1. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
5.1.1 Urgent Research Related to the 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake
The magnitude (M) 9.0 Tohoku earthquake, which occurred near the northeastern coast of
Honshu, the main island of Japan, at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) on March 11, 2011, resulted
from thrust faulting on shallow parts of the plate boundary of the subduction zone. The M
of 9.0 is the largest value ever recorded in Japan. The damage report as of July 31, 2012
from the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan states that 15,876 people were killed, 2,903
are missing, 6,109 were injured, at least 300,000 houses, 4,200 roads, 116 bridges, and 29
railways were destroyed or damaged by the earthquake and/or subsequent tsunami along
the entire eastern coast of Honshu, as well as the Fukushima nuclear power plants. The
majority of casualties and damage occurred from the tsunami with a maximum run-up
height of about 40 m at Miyako City. Many aftershocks and induced inland large
earthquakes have still been occurring, sometimes causing damage.
GSJ/AIST has urgently made plans for research surveys from geological viewpoints to
understand the disasters and to evaluate future risks of tsunamis, inland earthquakes, soil
liquefaction, soil contamination, and ground water pollution. The plans and/or preliminary
results are described in the following sections.
5.1.2.3 Precise Monitoring System for the Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai Earthquakes
GSJ/AIST has constructed fourteen observatories in and around expected focal zones of
the Nankai and Tonankai earthquakes, monitoring groundwater and borehole strain from
2006 to 2010. Observation wells of 30, 200 and 600 m deep are constructed at each
observatory. Groundwater level and groundwater temperature are measured in each well,
and a multi-component borehole strainmeter and a borehole tiltmeter are installed at the
bottom of either the 600 m-deep well or the 200-m deep well. The purposes of this
observation array are (i) to detect groundwater and strain anomalies associated with the
possible preseismic, co- and afterseismic crustal deformation, and (ii) to precisely map
short-term slow slip events (SSEs), whose activity is expected to change before the
Nankai and Tonankai earthquakes.
GSJ/AIST and the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention
(NIED) started to exchange AISTs borehole strainmeter data and the NIEDs Hi-net
tiltmeter data on a real-time basis in 2011. The mapping accuracy of the fault model of the
SSEs in and around the expected focal zones of the Tonankai and Tokai earthquakes has

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1. Summary
National programmes of geological survey and mineral exploration in Korea were
carried out by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) and the
Korea Resources Corporation (KORES). KIGAMs domestic mineral exploration project was
focused on the potential evaluation of domestic mineral resources in REE, W, and Li deposits
or in anomalous areas. KIGAMs overseas joint mineral exploration and evaluation
programmes were targeting on three continental regions of Asia (Uzbekistan, Mongolia and
Vietnam), South America (Colombia), and Africa (DR Congo and Ethiopia). KORES is
running a drilling support programme (total 55,000 m) and was carrying out 55 detailed
exploration projects for domestic metallic and non-metallic mines/deposits funded by the
government. KORES also actively performed overseas mineral exploration and survey
projects, which were mainly preliminary surveys, in many countries abroad. These latter
projects are to be gradually expanded.
KORES executed a drilling support programme for operating mines and for
prospecting deposits such as Au-Ag, Pb-Zn, Cu, W, Ti(Fe), Mo, limestone, quartzite,
pyrophyllite, graphite and bentonite deposits in Korea. In 2012, KORES has a plan to support
a total drilling depth of 55,000 m (23,000 m for metallic deposits and 32,000 m for non-
metallic deposits). KORES was also actively carrying out 50 detailed exploration projects for
Au-Ag, Fe, Mo-W, Pb-Zn, U, limestone, dolomite and quartzite deposits to secure new
resources (Table 1.2).
KORES was actively carrying out about 37 overseas mineral exploration and survey
projects for the deposit evaluation in CCOP Member Countries (China, Philippines) and
Cooperating and Related Countries (Australia, Canada, Mongolia, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico,
Madagascar, Niger, Panama, USA, South Africa, Tanzania, Argentina, and Chile). The
summary of the main projects is shown in Table 1.4.
The Cooperative Research for Overseas Petroleum Resources Information and E&P
Technology Project of 2009, studied the petroleum geology of 14 important petroliferous
basins of nine countries (i.e. Algeria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Columbia, China, India,
Indonesia, Yemen) and the arctic area. The fiscal systems of three hydrocarbon-bearing
countries (i.e. Brazil, Egypt and Columbia) have been reviewed. The review of E&P
technologies has included geophysical characterization of the fractured reservoir, 4D seismic
monitoring, hydraulic fracturing, DME technology and so on. These data will be provided to
domestic private petroleum enterprises via an online petroleum information system.
For the 2nd Phase of the Overseas Petroleum Resources Project, KIGAM has commenced
Research on Petroleum Geology of Petroliferous basins and International Cooperation with
Oil/Gas-Producing Countries from 2010 to 2012.
With regard to Gas Hydrate Development project, a total of 6600 Line-km of multi-
channel seismic reflection data were collected by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and
Mineral Resources using the research vessel, Tamhae II. 3D seismic data were also acquired
for assessing the gas hydrate reserves near the drilling sites of UBGH-09 and UBGH-10. An
ocean-bottom seismometer survey was also carried out in the Ulleung Basin wherein UBGH-
9 and UBGH-10 sites are included. Total 13 sites data set were acquired using 8 OBSs and
Sediment cores obtained from the Ulleung Basin Gas Hydrate Expeditions were
analyzed for the purpose of the following: Identification of ground truth indicating presence
of near seafloor gas hydrate and gas flume, estimation of index properties for environmental
impacts due to exploitation of gas hydrate, development of well bore stability model for gas-
hydrate-bearing formation, characterization of methanotrophic microorganisms and dissolved
methane concentration and estimation of molecular biomarkers of methanotrophic
microorganisms.

Additionally, KNOC has been conducting exploration and production of domestic and
overseas hydrocarbon resources, including the CCOP region.
Domestic E&P: After commencing production at the Donghae-1 gas field in July 2004,
another gas layer, designated the B5 Layer, with reserves of 42 billion cubic feet, was
discovered in early 2005. With the completion of the layer development in November 2009,
the company started the production of natural gas and oil by linking with existing production
facilities at the Donghae-1 gas field. During 2009, the overall production at Donghae-1 gas
field grew by 2 million barrels compared to the previous year, totaling 3.8 million barrels.
Meanwhile, KNOC drilled 1 well (BP-1X) to explore untapped oil reserves under the
continental shelf at Block VI-2 in the Jeju basin between November 2009 and February 2010,
and found oil and gas from Eocene sandstone. From January to July 2009, while evaluating
exploration potential on Block VIII in the deep waters of the East Sea through joint operation
with Woodside Energy Ltd. In Australia, KNOC and Woodside jointly found prospective
resources, and entered into the second two-year exploration period in August 2009, which is
the first deep water drilling campaign in Korea.
In Exploration and Production, KNOC will stimulate the efficient and optimal operation of its
existing production fields by stabilizing the operations of newly-acquired blocks and
implementing an integrated HSE management system. The company expected an annual and
average daily production volume to reach 53.8 million barrels and 148 thousand barrels,
respectively, by the end of 2010. Moreover, the company's construction of production
facilities are continuing on schedule for the BlackGold oil sands block in Canada, the ADA
Block in Kazakhstan, and the Block 4 in Yemen, as well as LNG production facilities in
Yemen.

3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1. Summary
Groundwater will play a more important role in water supply in the future due to
climate change. KIGAM had completed a basic project, from 2009 to 2011, for securing
groundwater resources for coping with climatic and environmental changes. This project is
composed of the following sub-topics: (1) assessment of groundwater resources considering
both quantity and quality in the Geum river basin, (2) securing groundwater through artificial
recharge on water curtain cultivation areas, and (3) characterization of high-mineral water and
CO2-rich water in Jeju Island. KIGAM started a new research programme entitled
Development of integrated core technologies in aquifer recharge system for groundwater
sustainability in 2012. Its goal is to provide an optimal and efficient groundwater artificial
recharge system considering site-specific hydrogeologic condition. Changweon City, located
in the south of Korean peninsula and suffering from frequent drought and water quality
problems along the Nakdong River, was selected as a study area.
Base flow was measured in outlets at 17 locations except for the area around river
mouth. The results revealed that flow data provided by WAMIS were very different from
those measured in this study, which is coming from rating curve suitable for high flow. The
rating curves for low flow need to be developed to evaluate base flow. And, base flow
separation using PART program developed by USGS was executed about long-term stream
discharge data to assess groundwater recharge on the 17 watersheds from 2000 to 2010.
The average annual base flow on the watersheds was 0.7-295.5 m3/sec and the areal weighted
mean was 43 m3/sec, which was equivalent to 1.34 billion m3/yr.
Groundwater resources were evaluated according to climate change and land use
change in the Geum river basin through groundwater flow modeling with WetSpass and
updated modeling tool. Assessment of groundwater contamination vulnerability considering
land use change in the future was performed using the Logistic regression method. The
vulnerability assessments were tested to the year 2050 and 2100, and groundwater
contamination were highly correlated to land uses.
Figure. 3.2. Schematic diagram of water curtain cultivation system with artificial
recharge of the aquifer,
There are a total of 6 wells including two pumping wells, two injection wells, and
two observation wells. Each pumping, injection, observation well comprises one alluvial well
and one fractured aquifer well. Overall protected cultivation systems, using groundwater
curtain with geological circulation and rainwater harvesting consists of a pumping system,
water curtain system, collection system, injection system, operation system, water treatment
system, and monitoring system. To evaluate the hydrogeological characteristics, pumping
tests, tracer tests with conservative tracer, dye tracer and thermal tracer, geophysical logging,
and water quality analysis are performed characterizing the transmissive part in this are;
groundwater velocity, and source of groundwater quality problem are also studied. As a result
of various tests, hydraulic conductivity of 3.4710-6 m/s in fractured aquifer and 1.6210-6
m/s in alluvial aquifer, storativity of 4.5210-4 in fractured aquifer and 0.15 in alluvial aquifer
were estimated. Sustainable yield was estimated to be 18.51 m3/d from step drawdown test.
Analysis of tracer tests estimates effective porosity of 0.105, average linear velocity of
2.6810-3 m/s and longitudinal dispersivity of 0.8 m. Transmissive fractured zone reveals to
be 15-25 m below surface corresponding to a weathered fracture zone based on thermal tracer
test and geophysical logging. The thermal tracer test using cool water reveals that the
recovered from greenhouse roof and injected cool water temperature is recovered to ambient
groundwater temperature when it arrives at the pumping well indicating that the aquifer
circulating water curtain cultivation system is effective to provide warming temperatures to
greenhouses during winter time without dewatering the aquifer.
Preliminary operation of the pilot system during the hot season using hot condition
instead of cold condition resulted in the fact that the geological circulating water curtain
cultivation system is better than the non-circulating system in terms of groundwater level,
pumping rate, and groundwater temperature recovery efficiency. During the practical
operation during winter time in 2010, 6,100 m3/yr of groundwater was reinjected to the
aquifer and if this kind of facility is expanded to the whole greenhouse in the test basin, it will
mean that 0.66 million m3/yr of water can be recharged. It is assumed that at least 50% of
rainwater is collected and injected to injection well through the system, 4,750 m3 of water can
be estimated to inject into one injection well for a year.
Subsurface geologic structure was investigated using geologic logs and geophysical
exploration to establish a geologic and hydrogeologic model of the area. Resistivity survey
revealed that upper aquifers had highly fluctuated flow system. CO2 sources in high-mineral
water and CO2-rich water was estimated as magmatic CO2 using 13C and 14C. Negligible 3H in
high-mineral water indicated that deep CO2 is effectively isolated by low-permeable layers.
Additional sources other than the soil zone can enhance water-rock interactions resulting in
higher mineral contents in groundwater. To assess proper yield of high-mineral water and
high bicarbonate containing groundwater, a step-draw down test was performed with
KIGAM started a new framework 3-year project under the Ministry of Knowledge
Economy (MKE) which deals with groundwater artificial recharge for sustainable water
security. Any information on the subject needs to be shared and we need the assistance and
support from CCOP in relation to those subjects.
Long-term and large-scale coastal zone programmes would be planned and launched
by either Korean central or local government(Table 4.1). Representative ministries are the
Ministry of Land, Transport and Marine Affairs (MLTM), the Ministry of Knowledge and
Economy (MKE), the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MIFAFF) and
the Ministry of Environment (ME). The executive organizations are usually the Korea
Institute of Maritime Science and Technology Promotion (KIMST), Korea Hydrographic and
Oceanographic Administration (KHOA), Korea Maritime Institute (KMI), Korea Institute of
Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST, former KIOST), and Korea Institute of Geoscience
and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) and the Korea Environment Institute (KEI). The roles of the
local governments cannot be disregarded despite the relatively small scale of their
programmes. In the public or commercial sectors there are several representative executioners
such as the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power
Company Ltd. (KHNP), Korea Rural Community Corporation (KR), Korea Water Company
(KOWACO), Samsung, Hyundai, Daewoo, GS, DSME, etc.
As the governments efforts to promote global cooperation in line with the UNs
millennium development goals are continued, major international or intergovernmental
programmes are also launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT) and
executed by the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
4.2.2 Inundation risk area estimation based on precise elevation models in the
southern coast of Korea
Inundation risk assessment study was successfully conducted by KIGAM for an
urbanized beach resort area in Busan. During the five-year research activity two sets of
LiDAR-based digital elevation data were compiled, ground-checked and used for making
basic elevation model. Together with forecast data flood risk area vulnerable to coastal
submergence induced by storm surges could be assessed by KIGAM and the Korean
Meteorologic Agency (KMA). Geographic Information System (GIS) and hydrological
modeling software were evaluated to be useful tools for practical estimation. The project
showed a good example of interdisciplinary cooperation and quantitative approach to coastal
hazard mitigation based on high resolution digital elevation data, meteorological modeling
and information technology. (Fig. 4.2)

and lower layers measured with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP).
5.2.2 Landslide
KIGAM performed a research project to develop a method of slope stability analysis
considering rainfall infiltration into unsaturated soil. The purpose of the research is to apply
the method to an early warning of landsliding related with rainfall. KIGAM conducted several
laboratory tests to measure rainfall infiltration velocity by a soil column test and suction stress
of soil by an automatic SWCC test. The tests made it possible to understand rainfall
infiltration characteristics and velocity, and changes of the saturation condition of unsaturated
soils in both drying and wetting processes. KIGAM performed the lab tests for several kinds
of weathered soils that have high potential for landslides caused by rainfall (Fig. 5.2).
KIGAM also derived a modified equation of safety factor of infinite slope considering rainfall
infiltration and wetting front behavior. Based on the rainfall infiltration of soils, the equation
enables one to calculate changes of safety factor dependent on rainfall intensity and time. For
understanding the mechanism of landslide triggering and debris flows, KIGAM installed a
ring shear test apparatus. The test apparatus can measure variations of stress and displacement
dependant on time of various soil materials. It is possible to characterize rheological and
mechanical properties of sliding material under various conditions of rainfall and soils.
KIGAM started a new research program of landslide early warning based on real-time
monitoring on natural terrain. The research program is funded by the Korean Ministry of
Science, Education and Technology (MEST) for five years. A major goal of the program is to
develop basic and original technologies of landslide early warning under extreme rainfall
conditions. The technologies will be studied based on real-time monitoring of landslides and
debris flows by both areal and ground monitoring on natural terrain. If the program is
performed successfully, there will be a significant advancement of early warning technology
of landslide hazards.

In the past, development cooperation efforts were focused on meeting the Basic
Human Needs (BHNs) of developing countries and on fostering their Human Resources
Development (HRD). However, the focus has now shifted to promote sustainable
development, strengthen partnerships with developing partners, and enhance the local
ownership of beneficiaries. Additionally, global concerns such as the environment, poverty
reduction, and gender mainstreaming, have gained significant importance in the
international community.
The programs consist of series of lectures, practical exercises, on-site visits in Korea,
and group discussions and presentations. Lectures are, on those above two programs;
Introduction to GIS, Construction of Geospatial Data using GIS, Geostatistics,
Introduction of New Technology for Mineral Exploration, Analysis of Stable Isotopes for
Mineral Exploration, and Geological Application of GIS and Remote Sensing and etc.
Instructors also encourage time for group presentations and discussions for enhancing
foreign experts knowledge. KIGAM also values human networks to encourage
international research cooperation. As for those rationales, acquainting and impressing
every expert who visits KIGAM and Korea are very important, and we coordinate those
needs by taking them to famous Korean tourist and industrial sites.

In accordance with the high demand for natural resources, most countries, including
Korea, endeavor to secure sustainable energy as well as protect against global warming so
as to keep the earth safe and clean. The Korean government considers these issues as
among the principal issues for future growth.
Thereby, KIGAM has greatly contributed to the development of the nation and
society and has developed state-of-the-art technologies.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1. Summary
Despite Lao PDR being a small country, the minerals sector is important to the Lao
economy, accounting for about 50 % of the exports and 10 % of the state revenues. There are
over 500 known mineral occurrences, which are distributed throughout different parts of its
territory. These include gold (porphyry, epithermal, skarn, sediment hosted & placer types),
copper (porphyry, supergene, skarn, epithermal & others), Copper-nickel (magmatic type),
lead-zinc (skarn, VHMS, VMT types), gemstones (sapphire), tin (greisens-hydrothermal &
residual), aluminum (laterite bauxite) and, iron. Amongst the hydrothermal deposit types,
metallic mineral resources are found within three fold belts (the Sukhothai fold belt; Louei-
Louangprabang fold belt; and Phou Luang Indochinese fold belt) whilst evaporites are present
in the basins. Some prospective mineral occurrences are under exploration for evaluating
reserves and some have been brought in to exploitation for local production and export.
Exported mineral commodities include gold, copper, tin, lead, zinc, gypsum, coal, and
industrial minerals and construction materials. The minerals sector is important for Lao
economic growth as it accounted for 8 % of GDP in 2010. In order to promote sustainable
mineral development, Laos has just revised its Law on Minerals and is drafting the
Implementing Decree of Mineral Law and other related regulations.
In August 2011, the Department of Geology was renamed as Department of Geology and
Minerals (DGM) and transferred to the newly established Ministry of Natural Resources and
Environment (MONRE). As part of the new administrative structure, DGM is now
responsible for the processing of prospecting and exploration licenses and granting the pre-
feasibility permits, these being duties that previously belonged to the Department of Mines
(DOM).
2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
Despite the discovery of large oil and gas fields in the neighboring countries of
Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, until recently the oil industry has not regarded Lao PDR
as a particularly attractive country in which to explore for hydrocarbons. As a result, the
current potential for finding oil and gas fields is limited to the low-lying terrain in the areas
around the Vientiane and Savannakhet basins.
DGM has currently no Energy Programme activity. There were 2 companies exploring
for oil and gas (Salamender Energy Co. and Petro Vietnam Co.Ltd.), but as from 2011 only
one company (Petro Vietnam Co Ltd) is exploring for oil and gas in the southern Champasack
province (14,140 ha).
3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1. Summary
Groundwater investigation has mostly been undertaken as part of the 1:200 000 scale
geological and mineral mapping by DGM in cooperation with foreign geological institutions.
In 2011, the Water Resources and Environment Agency (WREA) conducted a study on
groundwater resources assessment.
5. GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME.
5.1. Summary.
Lao P.D.R. is only slightly affected from by impacts of earthquakes. Nevertheless,
even though earthquake epicenters may be distant, some earthquakes can be felt in the
country, especially in the Northern provinces, but the magnitude is not high and damage to
buildings or to human life is not severe.
Lao P.D.R. has no seismological stations for earthquake monitoring. In the past, no
institution was responsible for this matter so in 1997 the responsibility of seismological
observation and monitoring was mentioned in the new role and functions of the Department
of Meteorology and Hydrology. However, in this field until now, there is no station, no
observations or data and no seismology technicians or scientists.
In the future, one or two seismic stations should be installed, particularly in the
northern part of Laos. Also, seismological training should be undertaken and international and
regional cooperation should be established.
However, geo-hazards such as landslides, mudslides and flash floods occur in many
provinces of Lao PDR causing increasing amounts of damage to both property and people.
DGM and DOM, responsible for geological hazard management, have planned to select
prototype areas for sustainable rehabilitation in 3 zones (Northern zone: Luangnamtha
province; Middle zone: Vientiane province, Borikhamxay province; Southern zone:
Champasak province, Attapeu province). The main activities will comprise detailed
geological mapping at scale of 1:4,000, adjusting the existing streams and establishing
rehabilitation planning with the local communities.

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1. Summary
The year has been a time for continuing the rebuilding of the Geological Survey of
Papua New Guinea. The keys to this are the recruitment of well-qualified geologists and the
continued scanning of material from the technical library and the cataloguing of rock and core
holdings. The lack of suitably trained and experienced geologists in the employment pool has
led to the recruitment of new graduates and the creation of training schemes in the Geological
Survey to maximize staff potential. The recruitment of a manager of Geological Mapping and
Mineral Exploration from Western Australia and a database geologist from BGS in the United
Kingdom have assisted in the creation of a robust methodology for modern geological
mapping and the creation of new databases. The delivery of radar data and air photography
and notebook data from Geoscience Australia's archive has assisted in updating geological
maps of PNG. Unfortunately the resignation of the manager of Geological Mapping and
Mineral Exploration in early 2012 due to lack of funding for helicopters for field mapping has
somewhat set back this process.
The EU funded GEOMAP archive with updates to the geological mapping was
completed during the year with significant upgrades align with the previous symbols and
mapping standards and was officially released to clients at the PDAC Conference in Toronto
in March 2012. Training programs and staff research associated with this project and through
CCOP have assisted in building the knowledge of the Geological Survey geologists. The
change from MapInfo to ArcGis and training of staff in the interpretation of airborne
geophysics and remote sensing data has facilitated transition to modern methods of geological
mapping and future data delivery of both tenement and geoscience data over the web. This
will allow updates to geoscience data to be linked to a range of World Bank and MRA funded
projects in the future including a Mining Tenements Management System.
The digital capture of archival library data continued during the year but has been
delayed by the lack of scanners to be delivered under World Bank funding and by lack of staff
and delays in fixing existing in-house scanners. The project is now scheduled to be
completed by mid-2013. Country wide regional geochemistry is on the agenda for PNG to
request assistance at the CCOP forum in November 2012. Community based geoscience in
line with GSD's service delivery continued during the year with water and infrastructures -
based projects
2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1. Summary
A reconnaissance survey of the Wau-Bulolo area for geothermal development was
conducted by the Geological Survey Division. The team from the Geophysics and Geological
Mapping conducted water and gas sampling and scouted new areas of geothermal
manifestation. The samples were later sent down to the GNS Sciences laboratory at Wairekei
for analysis.
GNS Science assisted in the program by conducting training for the Geological Survey
team and providing advice on sample preparation using preservatives. Pre-field training was
conducted at Wairakei and in Port Moresby.
GSD staff also accompanied Reykjavik Geothermal Company (RGC) to Karkar
Island, which is seen as a potential site for future geothermal development.
A staff member of the Geological Survey is currently on a 6-month geothermal
training assignment in Iceland, following a successful application for scholarships with the
Icelandic Government. The staff member returns end of October, 2012.
2.2. Annual Review of Individual Technical Activities
Development in the geothermal sector appears to be hampered by the non-existence of
a geothermal policy, despite the huge interest in developing the resource by major
international companies.
Reykjavik Geothermal Company continues to be interested in the geothermal resource
if the country. The company was granted exploration license over Karkar Island in late 2011.
Further work could not be carried out due to restrictions placed by the Attorney General. The
company, however, with the support from the Mineral Resources Authority, is highly
regarded by the landowners and the Madang Provincial Government, and is keen to start
exploratory work once given the approval. RGC is targeting a 100 MW geothermal plant to
meet the electricity demand of the town and mining operations.
The Mineral Resources Authority carried out a sampling program in the Wau-Bulolo
geothermal areas. The sampling program was requested by Newcrest Mining Limited through
the Geological Nuclear Sciences (GNS) of New Zealand. GNS provided training for members
of the investigation team and also helped prepare sampling equipment prior to conducting the
sampling program.
Work on a World Bank-supported geothermal study in the country is nearing
commencement after TOR and Project proposals have been completed and a successful
tenderer was accepted.
3. GROUNDWATER PROGRAMME
3.1. Summary
Community water supplies were investigated through groundwater studies in Kimbe

1. MINERAL PROGRAMME
1.1. Summary
At present, there are thirty three (33) operating metallic mines in the Philippines. These
mines have contributed US$ 16.14 Billion in investments to the economy since 2004. The
primary mineral commodities remain gold, copper and nickel. Since 2004, the revitalization
of the minerals industry has generated approximately US$4.453 Billion in total investments.
Total mining investments were US$ 968.3M in 2010 and US$ 618.5M in 2011.
Based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed on November 29, 2007 by the China
Geological Survey (CGS) and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) and a
subsequent Project Annex No.1 for Nickel and Copper Mineral Potential Assessment in
Central and Southern Philippines, geologists and other personnel of both institutions
undertook stream sediment sampling in July 2010. The field areas were in Surigao del
Norte, Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Norte. Laboratory chemical analyses for the
elements cobalt, chromium, nickel, copper, lead, vanadium, zinc, silver, gold, arsenic and
antimony were undertaken in the Nanjing Geological Survey Center of the CGS. 1696
samples were collected from an area of around 2,000 sq. kms. The study delineated five
(5) areas with various geochemical anomalies. Soils samples were taken from two of the
five areas with geochemical anomalies in December 2010. A total of 130 samples were
gathered from the Malimono and Santiago areas.
The annual Mining Philippines Conference and Exhibitions for 2010 and 2011 were held
in September of both years at the Hotel Sofitel, Pasay City. One purpose of the Conference
and Exhibition is to promote the Philippine minerals industry. The Conferences showcased
the successes and the contributions of mining ventures to the countrys economy. The
MGB- Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Chamber of
Mines of the Philippines lead the discussions about the future of the mineral industry as a
major driver for national progress.
For the former copper and pyrite mine site, the Bagacay Mine in Hinabangan,
Western Samar, the following activities have been undertaken:
1. The 50 hectares of land within the periphery of the former mining area that was
zoned into three blocks have already been revegetated/ reforested with the
following native species Mountain Agoho, Ptericarpus Indicus, Acacia Auri and
Acacia Mangium. This was done in coordination with the DENR Regional Office
No. VIII.
2. ENERGY PROGRAMME
2.1 Summary
The Department of Energy (DOE) continued its goal of attaining energy self sufficiency thru
the search for indigenous oil, gas, coal and geothermal resources. The conduct of the
Philippine Energy Contracting Round (PECR) for petroleum and coal were successfully
concluded for the calendar year 2011 to 2012. For petroleum, fifteen (15) areas were offered
to potential investors. For coal, 38 prospective areas were offered for bidding.
Oil production from July 2011 to June 2012 has reached 1.6 million barrels (MMB), posting
a decrease of some 900,000 barrels compared to the period from July 2010 to June 2011
output. Main production came from the Galoc Oil Field that has now produced a total of 1.44
million barrels for 2012. On natural gas production, Malampaya gas field produced 142
billion standard cubic feet (BSCF) of gas. This reflects a 2.7 percent decrease in gas
production from the previous level of 142 BSCF. Malampaya also produced a total of 5.0
million barrels of condensate for the period in review.
The DOE estimated the countrys total coal resource potential at about 2.37 billion MT, of
which the estimated proven (in-situ) and mineable reserves stood at approximately 428.8
million MT (MMT) and 317.8 MMT as of December 2011.

5. GEOHAZARDS PROGRAMME
5.1. Summary
The DENR-MGB has been implementing its National Geohazards Assessment and Mapping
Program since 2005 with the primary objective to identify areas in the country that are
susceptible or prone to various geologic hazards and provide the vital information to various
stakeholders in order to lessen or mitigate the impacts of these events. The MGB focused its
effort on landslides and flooding. The National Geohazard Assessment and Mapping Program
is a component of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Program of the Government.
By 2010 the DENR-MGB had completed the assessment and mapping of cities and
municipalities totaling around 1,634 nationwide at a scale of 1:50,000. MGB personnel
have issued advisories to officials of barangays (villages) that are in critical areas
relative to landslides and flooding. The completion of the 1:50,000 scale assessment and
mapping is being complemented by the production of the GIS-based geohazard maps
wherein around 80% of the maps have already been completed.
These geohazard areas were either classified as highly hazardous, moderately hazardous
or slightly hazardous areas in order to come up with a susceptibility map. Old and active
landslides, flood prone areas, geologic structures and lithologies were identified and
plotted on the map.
For flood hazard mapping, reconstruction of flood histories in the study areas was
undertaken through interviews and review of any documentation available. Results of the
assessments were provided to the local chief executives with appropriate threat advisory.
The advisory informs them of the areas susceptibility to flooding and contains
corresponding recommendations.
Areas critical for geohazards in around 260 cities and municipalities were assessed.
Under the framework of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Councils Collective Strengthening for Community Awareness on Natural Disasters (or
CSCAND) Working Group, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau has been actively
collaborating with other hazards mapping agencies such as the Philippine Institute of
Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical and Services Administration (PAGASA), National Mapping and Resource
Information Authority (NAMRIA) and the Office of Civil Defense in the conduct of
disaster risk management activities such as the Hazards Mapping and Assessment for
Effective Community-based Disaster Risk Management (or READY Project) and
Enhancing Risk Analysis Capacities for Flood, Tropical Cyclone, Severe Wind and
Earthquake for Greater Metro Manila (Risk Analysis Project).
The CSCAND Working Group, is now implementing the Risk Analysis Project with
Geoscience Australia as its partner and AusAID as a supporting organization. Major
activities include the acquisition of LIDAR images for the Marikina-Pasig River Basin
area, development of an exposure risk database and modeling for floods, earthquakes and
severe wind. Results of the study will be integrated into the development of a disaster
management plan for the concerned local government units.

For fiscal year 2011
2.1. Summary
Exploration activities included seismic surveys (2D and 3D) together with drilling
of wells both onshore and offshore. Petroleum production and imports are similar to last year.
Petroleum exploration activities began to shift from seismic exploration to exploration drilling
as most exploration blocks from the 20th bidding round were close to the end of the first
exploration period.
Crude oil production rate was 146,000 barrel per day (bbld) which slightly lower
than last years average rate of 166,000 bbld. 19% of Crude oil production is from onshore oil
fields. Two new onshore oil fields started production in the reporting period adding about
1,500 bbld and many blocks are still in the exploration phase. More onshore and offshore
fields are expected to come into production in the near future. Natural gas production
increased 1 % from last year. Last years average gas production rate was 3,370 MMscfd
b) Exploration Activities
Exploration activities continued over the period of July 2010 to June 2011. This
resulted from several geophysical surveys awarded in the 19th and 20th Bidding Rounds. 2D
seismic of 2,762 km was acquired (about 5,838 km was acquired last year). Of these 2,762
km, about 1,133 km are from onshore areas and 1,629 km from offshore areas.
A total of 2,318 km2 3D seismic was conducted both onshore and offshore. 3D seismic
volumes are quite similar to last year (2,663 km2) as 3D seismic seems to be a new key to a
change in the NE region in better identifying the fracture system in the carbonate reservoir. Of
these 2,318 km2, about 767 km2 are from onshore areas and 1,551 km2 from offshore areas.
Concerning drilling, a total of 25 exploratory wells were drilled during July 2010 to
June 2011, comparing to 15 wells last year - 17 wells in onshore basins and the other 8 wells
in the Gulf of Thailand. Development wells were reported at 466 wells, comparing to 466
wells last year - 79 onshore wells and 387 offshore wells.
2.1 Summary
Primary energy consumption of Thailand is about 1.9 million barrel per day. 44%
is from natural gas, 37% is from oil, 17% is from coal, and 2% is from hydro power.
Coal use is 35.3 million tons per year while domestic coal can be supplied 18.97
million tons or 54% of the demand. The total coal consumption in 2011 is slightly increased
from last year (34.93 million tons to 35.3 million tons). The total imported coal decreased
from 16.9 million tons in 2010 to 16.33 million tons in 2011.
Crude oil production rate is 110,965 barrel per day (bbld) which is decreased from
last years average rate of 121,571 bbld. Indigenous crude oil supply accounted for 27% of
crude oil consumption. 21% of crude oil production is from onshore oil fields, and the rest is
from the Gulf of Thailand.
Last year the average gas production was 2,678 MMscfd which is similar to this
yearsrate of 2,692 MMscfd. Indigenous natural gas supply accounts for 80% of the
consumption. The majority of natural gas (96%) is produced from fields in the Gulf of
Thailand and the remaining is from onshore fields - 2 fields in the NE of Thailand (120
MMscfd from the Sin Phu Horm and Nam Phong) and some associated gas of about 40
MMscfd from Sirikit Field in the central plain basin. Condensate production increased from
last year (83,772 bbld in 2010 to of 88,203 bbld in 2011).
As of December 2011, Thailands preliminary proved reserves (P1) as announced
by the Department of Mineral Fuels (DMF) consisted of 10.6 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of
natural gas, 239 million barrels (MMbbl) of condensate and 215 MMbbl of crude oil, which
are similar to last year proved reserves of 10.6 Tcf of natural gas, 245 million barrels MMbbl
of condensate and 197 MMbbl of crude oil.

- Investment of global warming Impact prevention and management plan; 112 projects under
the budget of 2,010 million Baht.
- Dilapidated area and ecosystem restoration plan; 328 projects under the budget of 1,664
million Baht.
- Promoting knowledge and cooperation plan; 258 projects under the budget of 414.3 million
Baht.
The Marine and Coastal Erosion Prevention Management Office of DMCR have been
working on possible solutions for coastal erosion and coastal restoration projects in
conjunction with participation of local people. The project is being implemented by placing
bamboo as rows preventing and dissolving the wave energy during the budget year 2010 in
Samuth Songkram, Samuth Sakorn, Samuth prakan and Chacherngsao. The total length is
7265 m. Another project was to install some concrete poles to solve the same problem in Tan
Yongpao, Pattani province in 2009.
Regarding the study of the master plan for solving coastal erosion, the DMCR teamed
up with academic institutes and consultant companies in the East Coastal area, upper and
lower part of the Gulf of Thailand side (from Ta Lum Puk cape to Songkla Lake river).
Besides, there is a study to design the solution for the coastal erosion in Lam Fapa, Pra
Samuth Jadee, Samuth Prakarn, where the most severe erosion takes place.
5 GEO-HAZARDS PROGRAMME
For fisical year 2011
5.1 Summary
Thailand is located in a tropical zone where heavy rainfall can occur in the rainy
season starting from May to December. Large landslides and flash flood triggered by the
heavy rainfall also occur in this period. Exceptionally, in this year, large landslides and flash
flooding happened in the March dry season in three provinces, Krabi, Nakhon Si Thamrat and
Surat Thani, in the southern part of Thailand. The landslides and flash floods caused a lot of
damage and casualties. Sixty-four people were killed and the total cost of damage is estimated
at around 10,000 million Baht.
The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) investigated the events and found that
only 14 casualties were in landslide affected areas whereas 50 casualties were in flash flood
areas. The smaller number of casualties in landslide areas rather than in flash flood areas were
because in the landslide areas, landslide watch networks or the community-based landslide
watch networks had been established. From this result, DMR has implemented the
Efficiency Increasing of Landslide Monitoring System Project in the high landslide risk
areas of 17 provinces.

5.1 Summary
In 2011 many parts of Thailand was affected by serious flooding and landslide. The
damage cost was estimated a round 45.7 billion US$ or ranking as the fourth most damage
disaster in the world. There were 13.6 million affected people and the flooding caused 815
casualties. Therefore Thai government and Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) put
more effort in mitigating the affects from geohazards especially landslides. In this year DMR
is conducting many activities under the geohazards mitigation programme such as landslide
risk mapping at the community level, establishing landslide watch networks, increasing
efficiency of the landslide monitoring system, developing of landslide models and landslide
rehabilitation.

The units of GDGMV continued geological mapping and mineral investigation at the
scale of 1:50,000 in many provinces countrywide. From 2010 to 2012, two projects of
geological mapping and mineral investigation at 1: 50,000 scale were carried out in two
areas: Ha Quang and A Hoi - Phuoc Hao. As a result, many new discoveries in geology and
minerals have been made.
a) The Project Geological mapping and mineral investigation at 1:50,000 scale of the
A Hoi - Phuoc Hao Map sheet group realized by the Southern Geological Mapping Division
has clarified characteristics of the newly discovered (from 2004 to 2011) spilitic basaltic
rocks. Geological-mineral and thematic maps of an area of 2,250 km2 were established.
+ Valuable geological discoveries include: discovery of a basalt-andesite effusive
formation which forms the basis of establishing the Pa Lan Formation of Middle Ordovician
age; investigation and recognition of geohazards including landslides, flooding, flash floods,
scouring of river and stream banks, radioactive manifestations and etc.It was found that
events happen not only because of natural factors, but also because of mineral activities.
+ Concerning minerals, 46 mineral occurrences were discovered and registered on the
area of the map sheet group, among them, 23 mineral and mineralization manifestations were
newly discovered, especially of high prospect potential are iron and gold ore occurrences (2
iron ore occurrences: Con Zot and Pa Lan; 4 gold ore occurrences: Khe May, Phuoc Xuan,
Song Thanh and Khe Vinh); construction materials and uranium were also of high potential;
besides, there still are industrial minerals, thermal and mineral waters. Survey results allowed
geologists to delineate 14 areas of iron, gold and construction materials for further
investigation and assessment.
b) The ProjectGeological mapping and mineral survey at 1:50,000 scale of the H
Qung Map Sheet group, Cao Bng Province was compiled by the Northern Geological
Mapping Division., Although working on an area with many difficulties concerning
topography, communication and shortage of budget, in the period 2011-2012 the Division
completed the above project successfully, making many new discoveries in geology and
valuable minerals. As a result, geological-mineral and thematic maps of an area of 1,730 km2

1. Summary
Natural Resources Canada (Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), Canada Centre for
Remote Sensing (CCRS)) continues to engage in a number of formal bilateral projects
with Japan, China and Korea, principally in the areas of remote sensing, energy and
natural hazard research. It is developing new agreements with CCOP member countries,
including Thailand, to expand collaborations in these research areas, as well as to initiate
new partnerships in marine geohazards, geochemistry, 3-D geologic modeling and
airborne geophysics. In addition, it continues to be engaged informally with member
countries on a range of other geoscience and remote sensing issues. Canada actively
supports the training of highly qualified personnel from CCOP member countries.
CHINA
Following the successful completion of a multi-year joint project between Natural
Resources Canada and the China Geological Survey on the application of Canadian
RADARSAT technology to the assessment of landslide hazard within China - specifically
on the Danba landslide located west of Chengdu, Sichuan Province discussions on
follow-up projects were advanced. A new agreement signed by both agencies in Canada in
March, 2012 aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Chinese developed fibre optic landslide
monitoring technology relative to more standard real-time monitoring technologies
typically employed by geotechnical companies in Canada. The results of this project are
expected to provide important guidance for the effective mitigation of these hazards in all
landslide prone countries and also potentially enhanced marketing opportunities for the
Chinese developed monitoring system.
During the review period, a number of bilateral meetings between these agencies also
explored the potential for collaboration in geochemistry, 3-D modeling and airborne
geophysics and project proposals to advance these collaborations have been developed
and are currently being reviewed by the agencies management.
KOREA
A collaborative geoscience research agreement was signed between Natural Resources
Canada and the Korean Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) in February, 2012. During the
course of this review period the agencies made significant advances in the development of
a new multi-year/multi-phase collaborative project on marine geohazards (also intended to
include participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Monteray Bay Aquarium
Research Institute and the United States Geological Survey). Specifically, technical
meetings were held in Canada and Korea to define the goals, key elements and logistics
for the first phase of the project which will take place in Canadas Beaufort Sea in 2013
using KOPRIs new state-of-art Polar Class 6 icebreaker, Araon. These goals include the
identification and evaluation of marine geohazards (permafrost degradation, submarine
landslides, gas release features, etc.), an assessment of the risks they pose to the
sustainable development of offshore natural resources and the ways in which any such
In a separate and long standing collaboration with the Korean Institute of Geoscience and
Mineral Resources (KIGAM) Canada provided scientific advice in support of the second
round of gas hydrate drilling that took place in the Ulleung Basin in summer 2010. The
highly successful experiment is described in multi-authored Expedition Report recently
published by KIGAM. In addition, Canada continued to contribute expertise in gas
hydrate drilling and the interpretation of well log data to this initiative. The results of
these contributions will be presented in a special publication of the journal of Marine
Petroleum Geology tentatively scheduled for release in March 2013.
TAIWAN
Canada continues highly productive informal collaborations with the Central Weather
Bureau, the National Central University and Academica Sinica in Taiwan on studies of the
episodic tremor and slip phenomena and on the development and validation of seismic
techniques for real-time landslide monitoring.
THAILAND:
Canada is engaged in discussions with the Thailand Geo-Informatics and Space
Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) on developing a new Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) in the area of geospatial technology / remote sensing. The MOU
would build on previous satellite/remote sensing collaborations that Canada has had with
GISTDA dating back to the 1980s.
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future
activities
Canada plans to continue the active transfer of domestically-developed technologies of
interest and relevance to CCOP member countries, to engage in collaborative projects on

1. Summary
During the reporting period the Geological Survey of Finland undertook the following
activities in the CCOP Region:
The overall objective of the LAOFIMIN project was to support the minerals sector
development as a fundamental driver of the Laos economy. This was done by strengthening
the capacities of Mines and Geology Departments in the governance of national mineral
resources in a sustainable and economically viable manner and using geoinformation as a
decision making tool and for the promotion of minerals investments.
The project was implemented by GTK with the Department of Mines (DOM) and the
Department Geology (DGEO) of the Ministry of Energy and Mines as local partners. The
duration of the project was 26 months (Sep. 2009- Nov. 2011) and included 25 working
months by GTK experts. The total budget was of ca. 500 000 . It was financed by the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland.
The Mining Cadastre System project in Lao PDR is a natural continuation of the LAOFIMIN
project. It started in October 2011 and will continue for two years. Objectives of the project
are to strengthen the cadastral organization and build a new cadastral system for the
management of map data and to assess the current cadastre system in order to propose a
uniform grid system to be used in Lao PDR. The implemented Lao Mining Cadastre System
(MCS) is based on the Block system using a 200 m x 200 m grid (Cadastral Units -CUs), and
is used to reserve areas for new concessions. The use of spatially a fixed CU grid prevents
overlapping license areas. The project takes into consideration the revised Mining Laws, and
the licensing practices in order to improve the coding system by assigning the unique
identifier for each individual license or application. As a result, the new spatial database
(MCS), based on the new coding system, has been prepared.
During the project the existing prospecting, exploration and mining licenses have been
transferred into uniform coordinate units and combined with the Lao GeoDataBase (Lao
GDB) prepared by the LAOFIMIN project. They both are using the international ITRF96
coordinate system due to its compatibility with the WGS84 coordinate system and GPS. The
spatial accuracy of the licenses on the cadastral block system based on fixed CUs is verified.
The contract for the project between the Lao Ministry of Energy and Mines and GTK was
signed on 15th of June, 2011. GTK, being active in Lao PDR for other Finnish funded
projects, was selected as a consultant to the Mining Cadastre project using so called Single
Source Selection. It is funded by the World Bank and the value of the contract is about USD
200 000, excluding the hardware and software purchased under a separate WB budget.
The contract includes 7 working months for the GTK experts and includes collaboration with
the Department of Mines (DOM) from the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) and the
Department of Geology and Minerals (DGM) from the new Ministry of Natural Resources
and Environment (MONRE). As a result of the revised administrative restructuring the
granting of mineral rights in the Lao PDR was split last year into two parts. The prospecting,
exploration and pre-feasibility licenses are granted by DGM while permit for the detailed
feasibility study and the mining license are processed by DOM.

A Vietnamese delegation visited the final BaltCICA conference in January 2012 in Helsinki,
Finland. The background of the project is largely based on achievements of the BaltCICA
and by participating in the conference the Vietnamese partners had the chance to hold
discussions directly with key scientists and decision makers. In addition, several workshops
and training sessios were held.
In April 2012 a first scenario workshops to identify climate change impacts and related
vulnerabilities were held in Thanh Hoa and Vung Tau in Vietnam. The results of these
workshops will be processed to identify potential adaptation options.
Further activities in 2012 comprise a workshop adjacent to the CCOP Annual Session in
Langkawi, Malaysia.

1. Summary
During 2010 and 2012 the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources
(BGR) has continued its activities in SE Asia with its local partners.
In the Scientific-Technical Cooperation sector several projects are ongoing. BGR is
cooperating with Indonesia in an Integrated Ocean Drilling Program. Scientific cooperation
with the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources (MLR) is realised with the Chinese
Geological Survey in the areas of mineral and energy resources, management of geological
data and data bank systems as well as CO2-storage (CCS) in geological formations. In the
field of environmental geology specific hydro-geological aspects in areas of karst and georisk
zoning, applying the multi hazard approach, were recently added.
- Seismic risk analysis Yanqing with China and the Philippines in the Project Rift
processes and basin development in the northern South China Sea (RISE) and furthermore in
the multilateral project Groupe Recherche Industrie South China Sea.
The Technical Cooperation sector comprises three projects funded by the German
Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). One project is in
Indonesia: - Good Local Governance: Component Mitigation of Georisks. In Vietnam the
project Improvement of Groundwater Protection is ongoing. In 2011, BGR started a new
project on Support for a sustainable Development of the Mining Sector in Lao PDR.
Geo-Information:
Sino-German Cooperation in Geosciences between BGR and the Ministry of Land and
Resources (MLR)
BGR and MLR work together in accordance with the cooperation agreement signed in
1979, with The Chinese Geological Survey (CGS) as the partner institution for BGR. The
exchange program for the Sino-German Scientific Knowledge Exchange Program is
negotiated between the partner institutions and every two years a wide field of geo-scientific
disciplines are covered. In the exchange period of 2010 and 2011, activities on Land
subsidence and on the drilling data base ended. During the exchange period 2012-2013
activities will continue on information technology systems, mineral and energy resources data
and CO2 storage in geological formations. Under the environmental geology topic, hydro-
geological issues related to karst aquifers and geo-hazard zonation will be new tasks for
knowledge exchange.
- Information technology.
Based on cooperative results from 2009-2011, exchange in research on 3D
applications and digital geo-information will continue in 2012-2013, specifically discussing
standards and mechanisms for spatial data infrastructure.
- Environmental Geology
Under this new topic two areas have been identified. Information exchange is planned
on specific issues related to karst hydrogeology, specifically numerical groundwater flow and
transport modelling, geochemical modelling and monitoring systems.
Geo-hazard assessment applying a multi hazard approach and hazard zonation in relation to
regional and town planning are envisaged for exchange of experiences.
Further activities could be specified during a first visit to China by a joint BGR mission of the
two sections in 2012.
The joint research project in cooperation between BGR and Second Institute of
Oceanography (SIO), Hangzhou, P.R. China continued with Dr. Weiwei Ding from SIO

Geo-Environment:
Improvement of Groundwater Protection
The aim of the project carried out by the Ministry of Natural Resources and
Environment (MONRE) and its subordinate Centre for Water Resources Planning and
Investigation, (CWRPI) in cooperation with the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural
Resources (BGR) is the improvement of groundwater protection in Vietnam. Based on
enhanced investigation, modeling, planning and management of groundwater resources
exercised first in pilot areas, integrated water resources management should improve the
quantity and quality of the groundwater as a main source for drinking water. Great importance
is being accorded in this context to the establishment of groundwater protection areas and the
embedding of protection aspects in regional planning. The objective of the 1st implementation
period was to support CWRPI and selected DONREs in capacity building towards Integrated
Water Resources Management (IWRM). Focus of the 2nd implementation period is the
improvement of Groundwater Investigation, Planning and Management in CWRPI and
selected DONREs. The project started in 6/2009. The first phase ended in 12/2010 (1.5 years).
The second phase is envisaged as lasting until mid 2014 (3.5 years).
Starting in September 2004, the Technical Cooperation project Support for a mines
inspectorateaimed to support the Department of Geology and Minerals of Vietnam (DGMV)
to establish a Mines or Mineral Inspectorate, provide basic and further training in the fields of
mining and processing of minerals, mining regulations, safety operations, work safety, health
protection, mine surveying, data processing and environmental protection for Vietnamese
counterparts. The project has also included an elaboration of an Investors Guide for
Vietnams extractive industries sector. The project phased was out in 2010.

1. Summary
The last two years have been active years in the cooperation between CCOP and Norway.
The main activities have been implementation of workshops and seminars of the
Enhanced Public Petroleum Management Project (EPPM). The activities in EPPM Project
1 and EPPM Project 3 are reported here. The extensive activities of Petrad, including
those that are part of the EPPM P2 project, are reported separately.
There has also been activity on several bilateral projects with different CCOP Member
Countries.
The goal of the programme is to create the highest possible value for society from
petroleum resources in order to improve the quality of life of the people in the CCOP member
Countries.
The EPPM project comprises three main areas, addressed in three projects:
Project 1 (P1): Petroleum Resource Management with focus on Natural Gas;
Project 2 (P2): Natural Gas Field Developments and Environmental Issues; and
Project 3 (P3): Metadata on Natural Gas Resources of the CCOP Region.
During the reporting period, a total of eight capacitybuilding workshops have been
conducted; three for project P1, three for project P3, and two for project P2. Details of the P2
projects will be reported separately by Petrad. In addition three Program Seminars have been
carried out, two planning meetings for Case studies, and one special training course. The
workshops for P1 and P3 were as follows:
The third workshop of P1 (P1W3): North Sumatra Mergui Basin Case Study:
Basin Modelling, Map Integration and Fractured Basement, was carried out in Langkawi,
Malaysia 2nd to 5th August 2010.
The workshop covered basin modelling with focused on all geologic elements and the
processes involved for hydrocarbon accumulation. The PetroMod 1D (express freeware) of
IES was used as the basin modelling tool for the workshop and was supported by case studies
from Malaysias basins and other basins of the world. In addition a presentation of a case
study from Vietnam on Fractured basement was given. Status on updated and integrated data
for the basin study was presented by the three case-study countries. The workshop was
finished by a one-day excursion/field work on fractured basement in Langkawi area.
The fourth workshop of P1 (P1W4): North Sumatra Mergui Basin Case Study:
Workshop on Seismic Stratigraphy and Petroleum Play concepts was carried out in Chiang
Mai, Thailand 21st to 25th February, 2011.
The workshop covered seismic stratigraphy and common risk segment maps as well as

From CCOP Member Countries a total of 33 persons participated.
The objectives of the workshop is to further train the participants in the usage of the
GIMS, developed by the China Geological Survey (CGS) for the Project, including data entry
and metadata management. The workshop tested the new version of the software, developed
after the P3W3 held in Pattaya. Feedback on experience with use of the software is considered
for incorporation in the next version of the GIMS. The GIMS software will be hosted at a
server in CCOP TS to avail further testing of the software after the workshop.
The objective is to further enhance the knowledge of data managers and encoders from
the Member Countries participating in the EPPM Program P3 on the new CCOP Geo-
information Metadata System (GIMS) that is developed by the China Geological Survey
(CGS).
The training was based on the latest version of the software. The data used for the
training was real data selected by and from the member countries. It was agreed that the
country teams will continue to load their own data using GIMS. Clarification of different
terms was discussed and changes/improvements were agreed upon.
The objective of the workshop was to further enhance the knowledge of data
managers and encoders from the Member Countries on database management. From Norway
Mr. Knut Henrik Jakobsson from NPD participated.
In conjunction with the sixth workshop, a two days training course on usage of GIMS

1. Summary
During the reporting period BGS saw the successful completion of a 5-year geological
mapping and mineral potential assessment project of the Papua New Guinea Highlands
(GEOMAP), undertaken in partnership with Deutsche Montan Technologie GmbH and the
Council for Geoscience SA, with funding from the EDF. Details of this project and its outputs
have been given in previous submissions. A 3-year geochemical mapping assistance project in
Nigeria (WB-funded) was competed in July 2011. The only other major geological mapping
project remaining is that currently being conducted in the United Arab Emirates for the UAE
Ministry of Energy, which is due to complete in November 2012.
A major landslide in August 2010 at Zhouqu, a county town in SW Gansu Province,
China led to much speculation on the causes of the disaster, with deforestation, hydropower
development and mining all being blamed. Following an invitation from Professor Meng
Xingmin of Lanzhou University, a number of UK researchers visited the area in November
2010 in order to apply a more rigorous scientific approach to the question. BGS in partnership
with two UK universities was successful in securing Urgency Grant funding from the Natural
Environment Research Council (NERC) to support field data collection, modeling and
preliminary geohazard assessment. The specific BGS contribution involved developing
preliminary process models and constructing a geohazard risk distribution map for the
Zhouqu area (see illustration below). A principal conclusion that can be drawn from the study is
that there is a complex pattern of landform evolution in the region that strongly influences
landslide and debris flow potential.
A new company was formed in December 2010 by the Natural Environment Research
Council (NERC), of which the BGS is a component institute. The company is registered as
IGS (International Geoscience Services) Ltd but has a five-year renewable licence issued by
NERC to trade as BGS International. The new company is located on the BGS site at
Keyworth, under the leadership of its Managing Director (David Ovadia, formerly Director of
BGS Resources & Business), Technical Director (Bill McCourt, formerly Head of BGS
International Business Development), and Commercial Director (Peter Zawada). The
Executive Director of BGS, John Ludden, is a non-executive director on the Board of BGS
International, and BGS, through NERC, owns 67% of the shares in the Company at the
present time.
The role of BGS International is to take forward the externally funded overseas
geological mapping and capacity building previously carried out by BGS in-house, and to do
so at more competitive prices and with greater flexibility. It has access to current and past
BGS staff, and to other associates from the international geoscience community. BGS
International, rather than BGS itself, will in future be submitting tenders for projects funded
through the World Bank and others. BGS will continue to pursue its research interests
globally, but funded from its own budgets.

3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future
activities
BGS will continue to develop its capability in the area of carbon capture and storage
(CCS) and is keen to secure funding for CCS projects in the CCOP region.
BGS has been awarded funding by its parent body (NERC) to undertake a two-year
project aimed at making our database designs freely available to all via the BGS website. We
are currently seeking project partners, including CCOP member countries, who are interested
in trying our designs and would benefit from BGS help on implementing and amending such
designs. We are not looking for any financial contributions and we would like to hear from
anyone with a geological or technical interest in how geological data is captured. Further
information can be obtained at: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/services/dataModels/home.html
Other areas in which BGS continues to develop its expertise include shale gas
prospecting, underground disposal of radioactive waste, marine geoscience, mineral
commodities resource security, volcanology and seismology, and databasing.

1. History
Petrad has conducted a total of 199 courses and seminars in cooperation with government
agencies and national oil companies in East and South East Asia through the ASCOPE and
CCOP organizations with a total of 8700 participants.
Petrad has in addition had 220 participants from the region attending two 8-week programs
held in Stavanger, Norway, every year since 1991. Most of these participants have received
scholarships worth approximately USD 35.000 each. These scholarships have been made
available through Norad and the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
Petrad has with very limited financial support from the Norwegian Government (Ministry of
Petroleum and Energy Funding) been able to arrange a very large number of activities with
CCOP and ASCOPE and its Members. This has been possible because many of the speakers
used by Petrad who come from Norwegian Petroleum Authorities and Petroleum Industry,
have been willing to assist on courses and seminars without any charge for time and have in
very many cases also covered their own cost for travel and accommodation.
All logistics and practical administration for the Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia
have until the end of 2011 been done by the CCOP Technical Secretariat in Bangkok in
cooperation with the host organization. However, as of 2012, the Norwegian Ministry of
Petroleum and Energy stopped financing Petrads activities with CCOP and ASCOPE. The
few activities undertaken in 2012 were financed by Petrads own capital whilst trying to find
alternative financing for coming years.
The following activities have been arranged in cooperation with Petrad since 1 July 2010:

Many of these have received scholarships worth about USD 35.000 each which have been
provided by either by Norad or the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy.
Other activities
Dr. Oystein Berg, Managing Director Petrad has been a Member of the following:
Academic Advisory Council, Universiti Teknologi, Petronas, Malaysia (2007-2012).
Merdeka Award, Malaysia. Nomination Committee for Health, Science and
Technology (2007-2010)
Petrad has in addition assisted with numerous visits from members from ASCOPE and CCOP
countries to Norway.
Petrad has also assisted Petrovietnam University with professors on various subject areas.
As mentioned above, the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy stopped financing
Petrads activities with CCOP and ASCOPE as of 2011. The few activities undertaken in
2012 have been financed by Petrads own capital whilst trying to find alternative financing for
coming years.
At the time of writing it is highly uncertain that Petrad will be able to continue cooperation
with CCOP and ASCOPE.
The extensive Petrad programs in developing countries in Africa and Latin America will
continue as before as will the Petrad 8-week programs.
We hope to bring more information about the possibilities of further cooperation with CCOP
and ASCOPE at the CCOP Annual Meeting.
All reports from previous Petrad seminars in East and Southeast Asia are available through
the CCOP Technical Secretariat in Bangkok.
5. Others
Petrad managing director is most grateful for friendship and the excellent cooperation with
CCOP TS and CCOP Members since 1984.

1. Summary
CCOP has a very close relationship with the Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research
Institute of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (SEADPRI-UKM). This relationship is an
expansion of the many years of close cooperation that CCOP has had with the Institute for
Environment and Development (LESTARI) of UKM. A MoU for cooperation between CCOP
and UKM has been in effect since 19 July 2007. On 21 May 2012, SEADPRI-UKM was
th
formally informed that the 58 CCOP Steering Committee meeting in Nanjing, China
accepted UKM as a new CCOP Cooperating Organization in recognition of its long record of
collaboration and shared experiences in CCOP activities. The signing of the MoU between
CCOP and UKM and its subsequent elevation to Cooperating Organization was strongly
supported and facilitated by the Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the CCOP, the
Director General of the Minerals and Geoscience Department, Malaysia.
Many activities have been jointly undertaken between UKM and CCOP over the past decade
under the auspices of the Minerals and Geoscience Department of Malaysia. The activities
were organized to recognize the importance of regional cooperation and build capacity of
geoscientists in addressing issues related to sustainable development. Highlights of some of
the current initiatives include the following:-
Joint organization of the Thematic Session on Geoscience Innovations for
Sustainable Development: The Future We Want to be held on 6-7 November 2012, in
conjunction with the 48th CCOP Annual Session in Langkawi, Malaysia.
Joint organization of the Workshop on Natural Hazards and Climate Change
Adaptation to be held on 9 November 2012, in conjunction with the 48th CCOP
Annual Session in Langkawi, Malaysia.
Final report is under preparation for the CCOP-SEADPRI-UKMs collaborative
project on Feasibility of Networking Petroleum Geoscience Institutions in East and
Southeast Asia.
A proposed project on Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation in Southeast Asia was
submitted to the ASEAN Secretariat under the India-ASEAN Green Fund mechanism
in 2011. The project has been endorsed by ASEAN and was submitted to the Indian
Government for approval in August 2012.
(i) 48th CCOP Annual Session: Thematic Session, 6-7 November 2012
At the 48th CCOP Annual Session in Langkawi, Malaysia, UKM will jointly organize the
Thematic Session Geoscience Innovations for Sustainable Development: The Future We
Want scheduled for 6-7 November 2012 with the Ministry of Natural Resources and
Environment Malaysia, the Minerals and Geoscience Department, Malaysia, Petronas and
CCOP Technical Secretariat. The theme aims to show-case geoscience innovations
contributing to sustainable development by Member Countries geoscience organizations
either alone or as part of a multi-disciplinary effort, particularly in relation to a attaining green
economy.
(ii) Workshop on Natural Hazards and Climate Change Adaptation, 9 November 2012
At the 48th CCOP Annual Session in Langkawi, Malaysia, the Southeast Asia Disaster
Prevention Research Institute (SEADPRI-UKM) will jointly organize with the Minerals and
Geoscience Department, the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and CCOP a workshop on
Natural Hazards and Climate Change Adaptation to be held on 9 November 2012. The
workshop aims to sensitize the geoscience community to risk and vulnerability assessments
with respect to disasters and climate change as well as to improve the identification of socio-
economically feasible adaptation options.
The purpose of the Phase 1 Project is to determine whether a platform could be provided for
promoting sharing of knowledge, human, financial resources, facilities, experience in
curriculum development and conduct of joint activities in petroleum geoscience. The
immediate objective is to determine whether it is feasible to establish a regional petroleum
geoscience network and to propose a collaborative mechanism for this purpose. A network
of networks framework has been proposed. This is envisaged as a CCOP network for the
petroleum geoscience institutions including universities initially. The framework could then
be applied for other sectors of geoscience such as geohazards, environmental geology,
mineral and groundwater resource. For each sector, the Network of Networks would link
national networks, regional network(s) of universities as well as regional organisations.
Besides networking within the sector, the proposed CCOP Network of Networks can facilitate
cross-disciplinary sharing, exchange and collaboration. The central hub of all the networks is
the CCOP Technical Secretariat, which serves as the Anchor Organisation and manages the
3. Proposed future activities and assistance to CCOP in support to current and future
activities
Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation in Southeast Asia
Several other activities have been jointly undertaken between UKM and CCOP over the past
decade. The activities were organized to recognize the importance of regional cooperation and
build capacity of geoscientists in addressing issues related to sustainable development. Below
is a summary of some of the activities that were organized.
Geoheritage of East and Southeast Asia: The book, edited by Mohd Shafeea Leman,
Anthony Reedman and Chen Shick Pei was jointly published by LESTARI-UKM and
CCOP in 2008. CCOP Member Countries contributed country chapters, the CCOP-
Technical Secretariat and LESTARI-UKM coordinated the editorial process. Printing
of the book was funded by LESTARI-UKM.

The Advisory Group is pleased to be asked to report on its discussions and recommendations
that may provide helpful contributions to the continued success of CCOP.
We are gratified that the Steering Committee and the Technical Secretariat have taken
thoughtful actions in response to our recommendations from previous years.
Topics
Report of the last CCOP Advisory Group Meeting (Oct. 2010, Indonesia / Manado) and
of the Special CCOP Advisory Group Meeting (March 2012, China / Nanjing).
Discussion with the director of the Technical Secretariat.
Discussion about core issues.
Election of Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson.
Election of officers
Franca Schwarz was elected Chairperson of the Advisory Group.
Ioannis Abatzis was elected Vice-Chairperson of the Advisory Group.
Observation: The TS has been reorganised. However the reduction of personnel leaves the TS
with reduced expertise and capacity to generate and manage new projects.
Recommendation: CCOP should retain and temporarily finance the services of Mr. Caluyong
to deliver on current projects (such as EPPM extension and CCS) and assist with creation of
new project proposals.
Observation: The Workplan for 2013 as presented in the meeting papers is highly speculative
and in places inaccurate.
Recommendation: More time has to be given in the annual meeting for discussion and
subsequent adjustment of the workplan before it is presented to the SC for approval.
Observation: CCOP has recognised the need to generate projects in a regional context and
establish deeper relationships with other regional bodies (e. g. ADB, ASCOPE, ASEAN+3)
and potential funding sources.
Recommendation: CCOP should make greater efforts to become more visible in the region by
promoting its capacity to such bodies.
Observation: There are increasing links to other thematic areas which go beyond traditional
geosciences (as discussed in the CCOP roundtable Geoscience Governance in Sustainable
Development in Beijing, 2005 annual session).
Recommendation: MCs national CCOP committees should broaden their representation to
take account of multisectoral nature of sustainable development.
Observation: The Advisory Group has recommended in the past that serious consideration
should be given to the procedure of selecting the director of the TS.
Recommendation: The selection of the director should be based on the candidates technical
and managerial merits and not on other considerations. The SC should consider how best to
achieve this through procedures for election of future directors.
At the 58th Steering Committee Meeting in Nanjing in March 2012, it was decided
that an e-mail network of the Member Countries be established in order to enhance
communication and exchange of ideas among the Member Countries, and Geological Survey
of Japan was tasked to act as a hub of this network.
In accordance with this decision, GSJ had approached all Member Countries to
nominate one or more geoscientists to serve on the network.
Dr. Toshihiro Uchida, Dr. Toru Tamura and Mrs. Sumiko Miyano constituted the hub.
