Cinta and Ardjuna production complexes and related fields describe the main features of W. Java Sea producing formations. A base map shows the Java Sea area between the island of Java and S. Klimantan, and how it has been divided into the Biliton, Sunda, and NW. Java basin. The current offshore production is from fields within 100 miles of the NW. Java coast in thick Tertiary sections. Two separate 250-mile-long cross sections illustrate the regional characteristics of these 3 important offshore Java Sea basins. The Cinta fields produces 37,000 bopd from Batu Radja Lime and Talang Akar sands. Ardjuna field produces 57,000 bopd from the Air Benakat sands. The onshore Jatibarang field currently produces 25,000 bopd from an unusual volcanic tuff formation.
