The lack of information regarding reading materials, references and writings regarding the potential of bedrock reservoirs in Indonesia is the main reason for the author in compiling a paper entitled "Potential of Bedrock Reservoirs in Indonesia". Existing publications are in the form of papers in scientific forums both at home and abroad with topics limited to 2 or 3 existing fields and repeated in almost the same versions and authors. Another factor that is no less important is the fact that subsurface data is only stored in each company's database so that it is difficult for other companies to access it, even for companies with work areas that are located next to each other, thus this potential is not developed more widely.

There are around 70 (seventy) potential bedrock reservoirs spread across 9 basins which are included in the category of basins proven to produce hydrocarbons in 15 Production Company operating in Indonesia. This potential is divided into 4 categories: potential that has become a production field, proven from test results but has not yet been developed, potential based on analogous subsurface data (logs, mud logs and indications from shows) and potential that is still in the form of prospects and concepts. The systematic writing is divided into several chapters, each chapter explaining the potential in each basin, plus a chapter which is a resume of the existing potential.
