Study on multi-channel seismic records from South Batanta Basin, West Papua acquired during RV Geomarin III cruise in 2013 were aimed to invent and map geological aspects and for geo-tectonic and geological history studies. Seismic data indicate that sediment sequences which can be observed from our seismic system in the study area are characterized by pre-extension sediments (Lower Early Miocene-Upper Early Pliocene), syn-extension sediments (Lower Middle Pliocene-Upper Late Pliocene),

... ension sediments (Early Pleistocene), and syn-inversion sediments (Late Pleistocene-Recent) typical of the West Papua tectonic system. In the study area, sediment sequences are possibly characterized by clastical sedimentary cover such as slumps, debrites and turbidites. ABSTRAK: Studi rekaman seismik multi kanal dari Cekungan Batanta Selatan, Papua Barat yang diperoleh selama pelayaran KR Geomarin III pada tahun 2013 bertujuan untuk menginventarisir dan memetakan aspek-aspek geologi serta untuk studi geo-tektonik dan sejarah geologi. Data seismik menunjukkan bahwa urutan sedimen yang dapat diamati dari sistem seismik di daerah studi ditandai oleh sedimen pra-ekstensi (Miosen Awal Bagian Bawah-Pliosen Awal Bagian Atas), sedimen syn-ekstensi (Pliosen Tengah Bagian Bawah-Pliosen Akhir Bagian Atas), sedimen post-ekstensi (Plestosen Awal), dan sedimen syn-inversi (Pleistosen Akhir-Resen) tipikal sistem tektonik Papua Barat. Di daerah studi, urutan sedimen dicirikan oleh sedimen penutup klastika kemungkinan berupa slump, debrit dan turbidit.
