[en] Full text:The study area comprises the Eocene Istria Depression bounded by Peceneaga- Camena and Heracleea faults, in front of North Dobrogea Orogene and Central Dobrogea, in the Romanian Black Sea offshore. The analysis of 100 two- dimensional (2D) seismic lines and two- three dimensional (3D) seismic surveys and well data has permitted to outline that the geo dynamic evolution of Eocene basins has led to the deposition of carbonate- sliciclastic turbidity, porous carbonate shelf margin reservoir deposits, and muddy carbonate turbiditic source rocks that present new Eocene petroleum targets. The main Eocene sub basin located in Iris-Venus area is deep, rhombic shaped, del imitated by normal faults, and may be connected with the strike-slip deformation component of Peceneaga- Camena fault. The next sub basin, located on West Lebeda area may be considered a cross- fault extensional zone. In the following sub basin East Lebada- Minerva area, normal faults generated a tectonic corridor characterized by high subsidence rate and local submarine/sub aerial intra slope topographic high. The last sub basin localized in Histria is a ponded one and captured highly organic matter rich muddly carbonate turgidities. In all sub basins, there is a progression from structure control to sediment control deposition

[en] Although the methods of exploration geophysics were first utilized after the discovery of an oil field in 1921, they have also applied in the old centuries. Likewise, the half of the total production in the United States of America is covered by new oil fields discovered by utilizing geophysical methods. The industry's energy necessity increases the interest to oil. The investments in the field of geophysics by the companies which makes large amount of money in order to discover new oil fields, widespread use of computers, the developments of space technology and world-wide nuclear competition even though its great danger for human beings have great share in the development of geophysics. Our country has 18 different types mines which has more than 10 billion $ potential. Geophysical engineers have great Kowledge and labor in the discovery of 1,795 trillion wealth from borax to building stone, and 60 billion $ oil and gas. On the other hand, as 1,5 billion investment in the field of geophysics is only 0.08 % of total investments, the increase of investments will add more contribution

[en] Full text: The presentation is dedicated to summarizing the results of studying lithological and petrographic peculiarities and petrophysical properties of relatively scarcely studied rocks of lower Pliocene Kalinsky Series in Absheron, particularly its lower horizons, as well as to determining the regularities of these properties change about the area, as well as along the geological section.These generalizations cover the areas of Gala, Turkany,Gala-Dubendy,Govsany,Garachukhur, Bina, Zykh, Peschany island, Chilov, Khali, Gryazevaya sopka, Pirallakhy, and they are necessary for determining the direction of exploration and increasing the efficiently of productive horizons development.Kalinsky series (KaS) is represented mostly by the alternation of siltstones,sandstones and shale and subjected to lithofacial changes along the section and about the area.Within the area under analysis the Kalinsky series thickness is changeable and decreases towards north-west (the crest), besides it pinches out, thus promoting lithostratigraphical traps occurrence. In this direction the arenosity of reservoir rocks increases.The The exposure of the 4-th and 5-th horizons of Kalinsky series in Peschany Island, Zyrya and Gryazevaya sopka gives us an opportunity to expect the occurrence of the corresponding formations in other areas as well. In the reservoir sections studied Kalinsky series is mostly of polymictic composition and is represented by badly sorted rocks.the sorting coefficient is within the range 2,5-4,7.Sands and sandstones occur relatively seldom.Silt fraction mostly prevails in their granulometric composition.The sand fraction content is close to the content of silt fraction in Surakhany, Garachukhur, Gum adasy, Zykh and Govsany (Fig.1).The reservoir rocks clayiness ranges within 12%-35%.Pelite fraction is the smallest in Surakhany, Peschany Island and Bina, while in Turkany, Gala, Gala-dubendy, Turkany-deniz and Gryazevaya sopka this fraction increases, attaining 28%-35% (Fig.1)Carbon content,porosity and permeability of the rocks correspondingly range within 0,2-42%, 2,9-33,3% and (34-1020)10-15sq.m.It is expedient to continue exploration in the southeastern part of the region, due to the facts, that reservoir properties here increase, reservoir rocks become thicker, and the reservoir covers about 50% of the whole area.Thus, Kalinsky series, and its lower horizons in particular are scarcely studied.In some areas these horizons are not exposed.That is why for the purpose of oil and gas presence degree clarification it is necessary to resume exploration in Absheron oil and gas bearing region Kalinsky series, and in particular in its lower horizons.
