North Panajam Paser Regency, Kalimantan Island, which is traversed by the Kutai Basin has very high coal fuel potential. The geological structure, depth and seam model of coal-bearing rock formations in the research area can be investigated through geophysical surveys using satellite gravity methods. Gravity field data is downloaded from the TOPEX website which comes from Geodesy Satellite (GeoSat) and European Remote Sensing Satellite-1 (ERS-1). The number of gravitational field data downloaded was 785 sets with an area of around 250 km2. The satellite gravity field data processing procedure includes several data corrections and reductions, as well as modeling and interpretation. The modeling and interpretation results show that the coal-bearing rock is estimated to be at a depth of 0 – 2,593.95 m for the AA’ section; 0 – 1,877.89 m for the BB’ section; and 0 – 1,558.59 m for the CC’ section.
