Perspectives of hydrocarbon source materials accumulation in Transcarpathian gas-bearing region (on Zaluzhska subregional uplifting as an example)

Abstract

A complex of geological-geophysical data is analyzed, the most perspective rock complexes are outlined and further works are offered within Zaluz’ke subregional uplifting. Lack of hydrocarbons in our country should be solved by scientific research in order to increase the sources of hydrocarbon materials and domestic production. One of the areas with uncertain results where additional research should be done is Zaluzhska subregional uplifting. The first data on oil and gas bearing of the territory was obtained in 1841, when an inflow of gas was obtained from the salt well at 89 meters depth near the village of Dorobratovo. After the WWII, when the territory of the Transcarpathian depression was included into USSR, it was covered by gravity, electric and magnetic and seismic survey. According to the geologic survey Zaluzhska structure was outlined. In a number of wells gas, water-gas and oil were recorded. Natural gas of the area probably appeared because of abnormally high warmth flow. It is recommended to drill horizontally directed wells in the thickness of Dorobrativska field.
