JERS-1 SAR and LANDSAT TM images of the northern Kutei Basin, East Kalimantan, Indonesia were geologically interpreted. The focus of the study is on the structural analysis of the Samarinda Anticlinorium located in the onshore area of the Kutei Basin. In the Samarinda Anticlinorium, N-S folds and thrusts are well developed in the Tertiary sediments. They are believed to have been formed during the Middle Miocene or later. In addition to the N-S structure, an extensive NW-SE lineament traversing the central part of the study area can be identified on the images. Image interpretation reveals that this lineament is a major fault formed before the Oligocene. Noticeable differences in the N-S structure are recognized at the north and south of this NW-SE fault, Lithology and thickness of the sediments overlying the basement are remarkably different at the north and south of the fault. These may be responsible for the differences in the N-S structure of the northern and southern Anticlinorium.
