Arapi (Polytechnic University of Tirana) SUMMARY 5 th Congress of Balkan Geophysical Society — Belgrade Serbia 10 – 16 May 2009Presently the Cretaceous-Eocene carbonate sequence sealed by the Oligocene flysch is the main target of hydrocarbon exploration along Albanides thrust belts. The latter represents a segment of Alpine folding chain situated between Dinarides and Hellenides (Bakia H. et. al. 1987 Prenjasi E. 1992) Enormous geological-geophysical data gained through a lot of field exploration
