Carpathians orogen

Modern view to the geological structure of plicate building of Carpathians and prospect of development of new hydrocarbon deposits

In the paper the questions of structural-arc structure of Central (Internal) and overthrust – External Carpathians, linkage with different tectonic elements of East European platform have been considered. The important moment during the detailization of geological structure of Carpathians orogen was picking out Under-Carpathian riftogen and the determination of paraautochthone Yasynskyi element under Skolivskyi cover according to the results of gravimetrical and seismic researches.
