A new 2D regional reconnaissance survey, JavaSPAN, has been acquired and processed by ION-GXT covering the eastern Java Sea east to the Bone Basin and north as far as the North Makassar Basin. Over 9800 km of data were acquired using a maximum offset of 9000 m and a 18 second record length. The data are being processed to PSDM level thus imaging the lower crust and MOHO.Geological highlights of the interpretation of the data include the crustal scale relationships between the basins and intervening highs as well as the deep structural relationships of some key elements of Southeast Asian tectonics. The survey puts the petroleum systems of this large area into context, and highlights some potentially overlooked potential in the early and pre-Tertiary.
