Sumatra Island
The oldest documents about Sumatra geothermal
was from Akil (1975) in the Proceedings of The
Second US Symposium on the Development and
Use of Geothermal Resources. Described Lampong
(Lampung) was estimated 200 MW potential. The
other old document written by Ganda et al (1992)
noted that the geothermal prospect in Sumatra were
situated along the great Sumatra graben
neighboring the Bukit Barisan ridge with total
estimated resource potential was 4885 MW and the
first being drilled was Sibayak (Akil, 1975). The
Volvcanological Survey of Indonesia (VSI) drilles
2 slim holes in 1981 ans started exploration well in
1999 in Lempur (Central Sumatra) (Fauzi et al,
2000).
Sibayak geothermal field first stage development
was in 1994, and expected to be commercial by
early 1998, the fluid chemistry of Sibayak were
brine that incated by silicic acid with 500 ppm of
concentration (Sulaiman and Pudyastuti, 1997).
The ratio of monomeric silica of the amorphous
silica solubility in Sibayak can be calculated from
Fournier and Rowe (1997) equation (Fauzy et al,
2000).
Ulu Belu geothermal field the oldest document
were from Pertamina in 1993 (see Figure 3)
(Sunaryo et al, 1993). It mentioned that Ulu Bleu is
thick at the top of G. Kaba (temperature of 96360C, the air temperature 23,1oC) (Kusnadi et al,
2011). Fumaroles Sempiang in Bukit Itam
accompanied airpanas (94,1oC temperature in air
temperature 30,1oC). Below the estimated surface
temperature associated with geothermal reservoirs
of gas geotermometer 250oC, considered as high
enthalpy (Kusnadi et al, 2011). Kaba and Sempiang

triangular diagram of Na-K-Mg, all the hot springs
in the zone is immature water, in addition to the
interaction of the fluid with rocks in hot conditions,
also mixed with surface water (meteoric water), in
the triangular diagram Cl, Li, the position of all the
hot springs tend toward Cl-B, while the hot water

the diagram there are indications of hot water

Sulawesi Island
Early exploratory investigations have been carried
out in North Sulawesi and South Sulawesi were
documented with 1500 MW prospect (Ganda,
1992). Lahendong is located 40 km south of
Manado in North Sulawesi and has been under
development by Pertamina since 1984 and between
193 and 1997 Uncoal North Sumatra Geothermal
Ltd (UNSG) drilled 13 wells in three different
prospects and discovered high temperature

CONCLUSIONS
Geochemical methods is very important to
geothermal explorations, at all stages in geothermal
industry. However due to the confidentiality
reasons, there are not many open geochemical data
found. One of the impact will be very low number
