Timing of Gas Generation in the SE Dniepr-Donetsk Basin, Ukraine

P509 TIMING OF GAS GENERATION IN THE SE DNIEPR-DONETSK BASIN UKRAINE Summary 1 1D numeric models were applied to reconstruct the timing of gas generation from Carboniferous coalbearing sediments in the southeastern part of the Dniepr-Donetsk Basin. Timing of gas generation varied in different areas. Gas generation in the Donbas area occurred mainly during Permo-Carboniferous deep burial. Some areas in the Donbas are characterised by an additional thermal event which postdates Permian uplift. This resulted in a second generation phase. Gas generation from Lower Carboniferous sediments in the central part of the Dniepr-Donetsk Basin (Vp-8 well) started in Permian time
