fracturing

In two craters near Emmerting, three major processes which variably affected the original pebbles are documented in the following order: 1. Deposition of hot material which solidified to glass (usually thin and transparent) or reacted with carbonate to form expanded “pumice” on the surface of pebbles. 2. Ductile deformation of variable intensity (with limited fragile deformation but intense fracturing of mineral grains), using older as well as newly formed discontinuities; in some cases this deformation is consistent with extreme strain, rendering a human-induced origin highly improbable.

The main problems of prospecting and exploration of gas and gas condensate fields in the lithological and stratigraphic strata of the southwestern and central parts of the Bilche-Volytsia zone are due to the complex tectonic and lithological and stratigraphic conditions for the hydrocarbon deposits formation. The objective factors include the complex geological structure of reservoir rocks due to tectonic disturbances in the process of trap formation, the presence of various types of voids and clay material, as well as flooding of productive formations at the final stage of development.
