Promising Hydrocarbon Prospects in the Paleogene Formations of the Black Sea Northwestern Shelf, Ukraine

By this day the portfolio of promising anticlines and faulted anticlines upon Paleogene level within the Karkinit sub-basin is practically exhausted. Nowadays, the most promising exploration trend for Paleogene sequence in the central part of the Karkinit sub-basin is swell-like uplifts complicated with structural noses and flexures. These structural forms are characterized by inherited development and control distribution of reservoirs and traps of lithological, stratigraphic, and structural-tectonic type of sealing.
