Abstract: Papua basin is a Mesozoic and Cenozoic basin which developed on the granite basements of Paleozoic in the margin of Australian continental plate. This basin is very rich in oil and gas resources especially in Antelope gas field, it is an infrequent large reef gas field. Antelope reef is a pinnacle reef which developed on the carbonate platform, with great thickness of reef due to its growth upward and good hydrocarbon bearing spaces. So lithologic-structural reservoir like such a reef can be a growth point of oil-gas reserves in Papua basin.

Key words: reef, reef-forming pattern, foreland basin, Papua basin
