CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1. BACKGROUND

Camp Labour WA3 and Main Office Asahan 3 Hydroelectric Power Plant Project have difficulties with
groundwater availability. Previous action, there was two groundwater exploration well in Camp
Labour WA3 and Main Office which was not prospect. The water discharge is very small and produce
the water if there was rain before.

1.2. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE WORK

Purpose and objectives of the work is conducting geoelectrical survey to determine the potential for
groundwater in Camp Labour WA3 and Main Office. If there is a good potential for groundwater in
the area of interest, it can be folllowed up by exploration drilling.

1.3. LOCATION

The geoelectrical survey is held in 9 location in Camp Labour WA3 and Main Office Area. The location
of map can be seen in Figure 1.

CHAPTER 2

GEOLOGICAL AND HYDROGEOLOGICAL CONDITION

2.1. REGIONAL GEOLOGY

Based on Geological Map of Region Pematang Siantar scale 1:100,000 (Clarke et al., 1982), the
geoelectrical survey is located in Toba Tuffs which consists of rhyo-dacitic, heterolithic crystal-vitric
ash flow tuff with thin airfall upper phase (Figure 2). Toba Tuffs was deposited during Pleistocene
Epoch. But in the field, especially in Camp Labour WA3, the litology is dominated by quartzose
sandstone which is part of Bohorok Formation. Bohorok Formation is the oldest rocks in Sumatera,
part of Tapanuli Group, which was deposited in Carboniferous – Permian Period.

2.2. REGIONAL HYDROGEOLOGY

Based on Hydrogeological Map of Region Pematang Siantar and Tebing Tinggi scale 1:250,000
(Sukrisna, 2004), the geoelectrical survey is mostly held in region with poorly productive aquifers of
local importance (Figure 3). The type of aquifer is fissured or porous aquifer. Generally aquifer of low
transmissivity, locally in favorable sites, small discharge of springs can be expected. Limited
groundwater can be obtained in the valleys and weathered zones. This is relevant with facts in the
field, there is small discharge of spring which flow through fissures and fractures in rocks. But in VES
9, the location is included to region with moderately productive aquifers. The type of aquifer is
intergranular aquifer. Aquifers of moderate transmissivity, groundwater table varies, generally above
or near land surfaces, wells yield generally less than 5 l/sec.

CHAPTER 3

METHODOLOGY

The geoelectric method is a dynamic geophysical method that utilizes the electrical properties of
rocks. In this method a current is injected into the earth through an iron electrode. The amount of
current (I) and the potential difference that occurs at the time of injection are recorded then the rho
(resistivity) value is calculated. Given that the rho value is strongly influenced by the physical
properties of rocks below the earth's surface, this rho value can be used to interpret the existence of
rocks and fluids below the earth's surface, including its shape and depth.

The working principle of the geoelectric method is to flow an electric current into the earth through
two current electrodes, then the potential difference is measured through two potential electrodes,
so that the resistivity value can be calculated. Based on Ohm's Law, it is known that the voltage (V) of
a material depends on the current (I) and the electric resistance (R) which are formulated as follows:

𝑉𝑉 = 𝐼𝐼 𝑅𝑅

Resistivity is a quantity that shows the level of resistance to electric current against a material. If a
conductive material in the form of a homogeneous cylinder has a length L and a cross-sectional area
A, the resistivity is:

𝐴𝐴
𝜌𝜌 = 𝑅𝑅
𝐿𝐿

The quantities measured in the geoelectric method are electric potential and current strength, while
what is calculated is the resistivity.

Electric potential is defined as potential energy (U) per unit test charge (Q), or the mathematical
expression is:

𝑟𝑟
1 𝑄𝑄
𝑈𝑈 = � 𝐸𝐸. 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 =
4𝑝𝑝𝑝𝑝 𝑟𝑟

Notes:

U : Potential energy
E : electric field

3-1
DEEP GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION
DECEMBER 2020 REPORT IN ASAHAN, NORTH SUMATERA

Q : Coulomb’s force
p, e : constants
r : distance between charge

Electric current is the motion of negative charges (electrons) in matter in the process of regulating
itself towards equilibrium. This event occurs when matter is disturbed by an electric field. If the electric
field always goes in one direction, then the electric current that flows will also remain in that direction.
Electric current that flows in the same direction is called DC (Direct Current) while that flows back and
forth is called AC (Alternating Current). The relationship between electric current and charge is
mathematically expressed as follows:

𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
𝐼𝐼 =
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑

According to Ohm's Law, the relationship between the magnitude of the electric potential difference
(V), the current strength (I) and the resistance of the conducting wire is:

𝑉𝑉 = 𝐼𝐼 𝑅𝑅

In the 1-D geoelectric method, discussion of the flow of electricity in the earth is based on the
assumption that the earth is an isotropic homogeneous medium. So, the rock layers below the earth's
surface are assumed to be in layers. In this condition, the electric potential around the electric current
in the earth and on the earth's surface is as follows.

The center of the electric current is placed in the earth. The following figure shows the direction of
current flow and its equipotential line.

Figure 4. The direction of the electric current and the equipotential line for the current source is within the earth

The current exits radially from the point of flow such that the sum of the current exiting the surface
of a sphere of radius r is:

𝐼𝐼 = 𝐽𝐽 𝐴𝐴
𝐼𝐼 = 𝐽𝐽 4𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟 2
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑
𝐼𝐼 = �𝜎𝜎 � 4𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟 2
𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑

Since 𝜎𝜎 = then:
𝜌𝜌

1 𝑉𝑉(𝑟𝑟)
𝐼𝐼 = � � 4𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟 2
𝜌𝜌 𝑟𝑟

So:

𝐼𝐼 𝜌𝜌 𝑉𝑉
𝑉𝑉 (𝑟𝑟) = and 𝜌𝜌 = 4𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋
4𝜋𝜋𝑟𝑟 2 𝐼𝐼

If the current point in the above discussion is located on the surface of the earth, then the direction
of the electric current and its equipotential line can be seen in the following figure:

Figure 5. The direction of the electric current and the equipotential line for the current source is on the surface
of the earth

The area of distribution in the direction of the current is half a sphere, so the surface area = 2pr. Thus
the previous equation becomes:

𝐼𝐼 𝜌𝜌 𝑉𝑉
𝑉𝑉 (𝑟𝑟) = and 𝜌𝜌 = 2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋
2𝜋𝜋𝜋𝜋 𝐼𝐼

Figure 6. The direction of electric current and the equipotential line for the two current sources are on the
surface of the earth

The two current sources are described as points A and B, while the measurement of the potential
difference is carried out at points M and N. The potential difference between MN due to currents A
and B, is:

Δ𝑉𝑉 = 𝑉𝑉𝑀𝑀 − 𝑉𝑉𝑁𝑁


𝐼𝐼 𝜌𝜌 1 1 1 1
Δ𝑉𝑉 = �� − �−� − ��
2𝜋𝜋 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵
Δ𝑉𝑉 1 1 1 1 −1
𝜌𝜌 = 2𝜋𝜋 �� − �−� − ��
𝐼𝐼 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝐵𝐵𝐵𝐵

In this equation:

AM = distance A to M
BM = distance B to M
AN = distance A to N
BN = distance B to N
DV = potential difference, measured in the field
I = electric current, measured in the field
R = resistance, calculated then used for interpretation

In this geoelectric investigation, the electrode arrangement has been used using the Schlumberger
rule arrangement where the two MN potential electrodes are always placed between 2 current
electrodes (Figure 8). In each measurement, the current AB electrode is always moved according to a
predetermined distance, while the MN potential electrode can only be moved at certain distances on
the condition that the MN / 2 distance is ≥ 1/5 the AB / 2 distance. So that the geometric factor k can
be obtained from the following equation:

𝜋𝜋 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 2 𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 2
𝑘𝑘 = �� � − � � �
2(𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀) 2 2

The equation is then used to process the 1D geoelectric measurement data. The results of calculations
using these equations only produce resistivity values and apparent depth. To obtain the true resistivity
and depth values, the 1D inversion modeling was then used.

VES (Vertical Electrical Sounding) geoelectrical survey covers:


• Measurement to obtain information about the vertical resistivity variation.
• Measurement at a fixed point (sounding point) with varying electrode spacing.
• Pseudo resistivity data as a function of electrode spacing.
• VES data plots the apparent resistivity log (ρa) with the current electrode spacing log (AB/2).
• The VES curve describes resistivity as a function of depth at the predicted point of
measurement (sounding).
• 1D Model.

Geoelectric investigations are carried out on the basis of the physical properties of rocks to electric
currents, where each different rock type will have a different resistivity value. This depends on several
factors, including the age of the rock, electrolyte content, rock density, the amount of minerals it
contains, porosity, permeability and so on.

CHAPTER 4

RESULTS

This chapter discusses the results of geoelectrical survey activities in the work area. Documentation
of all activities can be seen at Appendix A.

In this chapter, conducted an explanation regarding the geoelectric results and their interpretation.
The interpretation obtained from geoelectric activity is subsurface lithology along with an indication
that the rock is aquifer or non-aquifer. The procedure for implementing geoelectrical survey activities
refers to SNI 2818: 2012 regarding the Schlumberger geoelectric measurement procedure for
groundwater exploration. The 1-D (Vertical Electrical Sounding / VES) geoelectrical survey activity was
carried out on 4 to 14 December 2020. The target depth for this survey is around 100 m. There are 9
geoelectrical survey points spread over 2 area, which are Camp Labour WA3 and Main Office Area.

The condition of field data mostly is disturbed by noises. Noises can come from topographic effect,
high voltage electric wire, less coupling between electrodes and soil, and high resistivity layer in
shallow area. We perform manual filtering to remove noises from the data. After that, we process the
field data using linear inversion method. In this process, we use software IP2 WIN to produce depth
and number of layers, also resistivity value of layers.

4.1. CAMP LABOUR WA3

Geoelectrical survey was held in Camp Labour WA3 during 8 until 14 December 2020. The detail of
location can be seen in Table 1 and Figure 11.

Based on the results of geoelectric acquisitions in Camp Labour WA3, the constituent lithology is
dominated by the quartzose sandstones of the Bohorok Formation. This is consistent with the
geological conditions in the field which are dominated by quartzose sandstone outcrops. The following

4.2.4. Summary of Main Office

Although there are weathered and fresh ignimbrite in this area. The lithologies cannot produce
amount of groundwater. This can be caused by amount of clay in weathered rock and very compact
condition in fresh rock. So there is no good porosity. Based on geoelectrical survey in Main Office,
there is no aquifer. Main Office is dominated by aquiclude and aquifuge. So, in the Main Office is not
capable producing amount of groundwater. The correlation of lithology and resistivity value can be
seen in Figure 18 until Figure 20.

4.3. HYDROGEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The objective survey is to determine the groundwater level, lithology from the outcrop, and type of
aquifer. This survey was conducted from 12 December 2020 until 16 December 2020.

From this survey, we found 3 lithologies which are dominated in the location. First is conglomeratic
sandstone. This rock is partly of Bohorok Formation. Conglomeratic sandstone is sedimentary rock
which composed by mostly andesite fragments. This fragments are rounded with grain size of >2 mm.
The matrix of this rock is sand. The lithology only permits the water, but does not yield the water in
sufficient quantity.

Figure 21. The outcrop of conglomeratic sandstone in the location

Quartzose Sandstone and Meta-claystone are the second lithology which dominated in this area. Also
like the conglomeratic sandstone, the lithologies are partly of Bohorok Formation. From the
observation, this lithologies are slightly metamorfosed. So the rocks hardly permits the water.

Figure 22. The outcrop of quartzose sandstone in the location

DEEP GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION
DECEMBER 2020 REPORT IN ASAHAN, NORTH SUMATERA

The last is ignimbrite which is part of Toba Tuff. This rock is composed by dust material consisting of
pumice and glass. This rock has a good porosity so it is supposed to be an aquifer in this area. At the
location, the spreadness is so narrow. It is difficult to find the groundwater at the location. The
spreadness of these lithology is often found in the residential areas of local population, northern of
location, so that local people can easily get the groundwater. Groundwater used by local residents is
obtained from dug wells with a depth of 3 m - 8 m, and the average depth of boreholes used by
residents is 15 m - 30 m.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the discussion that has been carried out in relation to this study, several conclusions can be
made as follows:

1. Camp Labor WA3 area has an aquifer only near VES 9 which is far from the camp.

2. Camp Labor WA3 is dominated by aquitard and aquifuge which is not capable producing
amount of groundwater.

3. Main Office is dominated by aquiclude and aquifuge which is not capable producing amount
of groundwater.

4. Based on regional hydrogeological map, Camp Labor WA3 and Main Office is dominated by
poorly productive aquifers of local importance. Limited groundwater can be obtained in the
valleys and weathered zones.

5. The aquifer can be found in the northern of Camp Labor WA3 which is in the residential areas
of local population. The lithology in this area is ignimbrite with shallow groundwater and wells
yield generally less than 5 l/sec.

GLOSSARY

Aquiclude

An aquiclude is a geological formation which is impermeable to the flow of water. It contains a large
amount of water in it but it does not permit water through it and also does not yield water. It is
because of its high porosity. Clay is an example of aquiclude.

Aquifer

An aquifer is a saturated formation of the earth. It not only stores the water but also yields it in
adequate quantity. Aquifers are highly permeable formations and hence they are considered as main
sources of groundwater applications. Unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel are examples of an
aquifer.

Aquifug

An aquifuge is an impermeable geological formation which is neither porous nor permeable – which
means it cannot store water in it and at the same time it cannot permit water through it. Compact
rock is an example of aquifuge.

Aquitard

An aquitard is also a saturated formation. It permits the water through it but does not yield water in
sufficient quantity as much as aquifer does. It is because of their partly permeable nature. But
however, if there is an aquifer under the aquitard then the water from aquitard may seep into the
aquifer. Sandy clay is a perfect example of an aquitard.
