Modern concepts of deep geological structure of the Carpathian region based on direct 3D gravity modeling

Thesis is devoted to study of the deep tectonic structure of Ukrainian part of the Carpathians. A spatial model based on previously conducted seismic investigation, geological data, petrophysical and well log data has been created within Carpathian region. An estimation of the model adequacy in terms of its correspondence to gravity field has been done. Results of the research showed the necessity of conducting regional complex study for creating a consistent model of the Carpathian’s deep structure.

New promising areas, deposits, and types of hydrocarbon traps in the thrust areas under the Ukrainian Carpathians

A new area is suggested for hydrocarbon explorations in the margin shaft of the Eurasian platform, in the Transcarpathians. The productive systems: Devonian, Carboniferous, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Paleogene, Neogene. Traps of various types are possible.
