"STRATIGRAPHY AND TECTONIC OF WEST ARM OF SULAWESI" West Arm of Sulawesi is a very interesting place to understanding its geological setting. Only numbers of papers and publications have released by company or researcher describe about this area. As known that the area have a good oil and gas opportunities especially in late Tertiary part. This fieldtrip aims to give some imaging about structural geology, stratigraphy setting and reservoirs characteristic in West Arm Sulawesi especially in South Sulawesi Province.
There are a lot of outcrops, morphology and sightview along 5 days 4 nights trip cross the West Arm of Sulawesi. These geological objects can representative the expansion of this area and hope brings better comprehension for participant especially for some geological aspect in West Arm of Sulawesi e.g. tectonic setting, structural development, lithostratigraphy succession of West Arm of Sulawesi, basin analyses and also for some application for oil and gas, mining, engineering geology and paleontology. Some best observed outcrops in West Arm of Sulawesi e.g. Bantimala area with its melange, limestone of Tonasa Formation, quartz sandstone of Mallawa Formation, volcanics sediment of Camba Formation, and limestone of Toraja Formation. Further to westward, Sengkang basin area will be one of interesting topic to discuss in this fieldtrip caused of its hydrocarbon potential has been found by several years. Mr. Bambang Priyadi (Geology Dept. ITB), Mr. Nusatriyo Guritno (CNOOC) and Mr. Kaharuddin M.S. (Geology Dept. UNHAS) are three of experienced leaders will guide this fieldtrip. Some papers and publications resulted from their research in West Arm of Sulawesi area. In other hand this fieldtrip also offering geotourism aspect as interesting as its geological setting. The beautiful of Tana Toraja highland offering unique culture, ritual ceremony, traditional stone cemetarial and house called tongkonan, with beautiful landscape of mountain, river and valley. Also in Sengkang area we can find Tempe Lake and handmade woven silk that can be a good souvenir from Sulawesi.
