Paleogeo-morphologic conditions of Upper Visean sandy-argillaceous rock mass sedimentation in the central part of Dnieper-Donets basin and prospects of its oil-and-gas recourses

Abstract

Correlation between tectonic evolution of the central part of Dnieper-Donets basin and sedimentation features of the regionally gas- and oil-bearing Upper Visean rock mass was analysed. The thickness, lithofacial composition of deposits and paleolandforms has consistent features. It allows localizing the areas of non-anticlinal and combined traps of hydrocarbons prospecting.
