Mukim Rusila located at Marang, Terengganu where it has been long known as meta-sediment area. The objectives of the study at this area are to update a geological map with scale 5 x 5 kM2. This study involves several analyses which included petrography, stratigraphy, geomorphology and structural geology. Geological mapping had been done to collect the related data and the sample had been taken for petrography analysis. The analysis supported by the old research paper and journal. The study area consists of 3 lithology unit which is alluvium, mylonite and Charul Sungai Perlis Bed. In Charu/ Sungai Perlis Bed it consists lithology of phyllite and schist. The structural geology that been found are fault, vein and chevron fold. It is recommended that extensive study of the area that focus on structural geology and mylonite unit only since it is one of the new finding within this research. While for the Kapal Field, a part of Malay Basin, located offshore Terengganu (Malaysia). It has been known as a sediment area with a hydrocarbon reserve. So far, the seismic sequence has become focus of extensive and the main target of hydrocarbon exploration in this area. The detailed stratigraphy study and structural study have not been studied yet for Kapal field and it is recommended for the next research. The identification of six seismic section across the study area by using 3-D data has been conducted. Four primary reflectors have been recognised as sequence boundaries and each sequence contains some seismic facies unit which were determined based on seismic parameters. This study area can be said that have a potential hydrocarbon based on the structural that have been found within the study area such as faults and anticline structure.
