Morphostructural analysis as a part of detailed aerial and space geological studies at the Volga right bank near the city of Volgograd

Abstract

The detailed aerial and space geological studies aimed for searches for structural oil and gas traps at the Volgograd region consisted in morphostructural analysis and structural-tectonic schemes compilation, The morphostructural analysis is most important and has been applied at all the stages of the work. The studies confirmed the ancient structures had been reactivated in the Pleistocene and Holocene, relief-forming processes dynamics were proved to bear a direct relationship to the buried structures stratigraphic scope and to their distance from large paleodepressions axes.
