Buried Reefs – Potential Traps

The prospects of detection of HC deposits in the Timano-Pecherskaya province contact fossil reefs in carbonate sediments by Ust-Pechora (Upper Devonian). The interpretation of gravitational anomalies was directed on revealing and mapping of reefs and connected by them decompactions – potential HC traps. The prospects of the decision of this task were estimated proceeding from results of researches of gravita-tional fields above buried reefs in various oil-bearing areas. Revealed thus by the numerous researchers of law of display of reefs in gravitational fields testify as to potential opportunities of gravity by searches of buried reefs, and allow to make a choice of techniques of interpretation of a gravitational anomalies.
