Sequence stratigraphy, sedimentology, and hydrocarbon potential in the North-Eastern part of the Pannonian Basin
- Institute for Research and Technology, Prahova (Romania); and others
The Pannonian basin lies within the Alpine mountain belts of east-central Europe. Deformation of the Pannonian region occurred during the final stage of thrusting and folding in the outer part of the Carpathians. The result was a system of several smaller individual basins separated by relatively shallow basement blocks. The {open_quotes}North-eastern part of the Pannonian basin{close_quotes} represents one of these individual basins. Over the basement, the Neogene sedimentation started with continental or marine transgressive beds followed by shallow-marine shales and marls with sandy intercalations. Several stratigraphic sequences were separated within the succession of sedimentary deposits using the seismic, paleontologic, and well-log data. These sequences with their hydrocarbon significance are largely described in the paper.
