Oil and gas bearing capacity of Paleocene carbonate formations of the southern oil and gas bearing region

Abstract

According to the results of exploration work the industrial gas content of Palaeocene formation in the southern oil and gas bearing region is found within the western regions of plain Crimea and the northwest shelf of the Black Sea. Favorable conditions for non-anticlinal traps were also found associated primarily with cutting-in of collectors. 64.5 million toe in the off-shore and 21.5 million toe of hydrocarbons on land remain unexplored.
