Abstract
During this time people consider that the island of Kalimantan is a relatively safe area of the earthquake, but in fact it is not. One example is the earthquake that occurred in Tarakan. It happens in 2015 and 2017. Losses in the form of seven homes damaged but no casualties. The Tarakan region is located in North Kalimantan where the region is located in a compression zone caused by the Mangkalihat and Sampoerna Faults movement resulting in a wrench fault system. Given the data commonly used by Pertamina EP in constructing a subsurface model in oil and gas discovery combined with earthquake data it is hoped it will be easier to understand Tarakan earthquake which has been going on for two years. Three things will be examined in this paper to understand the characteristics of the Tarakan earthquake, which are earthquake active faults, the type of lithology surrounding epicenter earthquakes, and high stress areas.
