GDA is a research-based consultant who believes in the power of geoscientist creative minds to solve the problems related to hydrocarbon exploration. Hence, it is a must that Gda develops its own research to enrich the creative minds of its geoscientists.

GDA researches can be categorized into desk research and field research:

The desk research includes:

Basement reservoir petrophysics, statistics, and geochemistr Statistics of Indonesian reservoirs based on depositional environment Statistics of oil and gas field reserves based on district/town/province Pseudo-logs to aid correlation in old Dutch wells without complete log data Indonesian exploration cycle Carbonate-Clastic interaction in deltaic sediments.

The field research includes:

• Ancient marine sedimentology study at Cipamingkis and Cileungsi rivers
• Gn Walat sedimentology study focusing on facies and reservoir characteristics.
• Paleosol in ancient deltaic sediments and its use as a tool in sequence stratigraphy analyses.
• Biogenic structures in deltaic sediments (modern and ancient Mahakam Delta)
• Fault seal analyses in delta-associated structures (Kutai Basin)
• Catalogues of typical sedimentology of deltaic outcrops in Kutai Basin
