An Integrated 3D Seismic Analysis and Potential Fields Inversion Reveal a TBR Analog for the Dnieper-Donets Basin

Searching for oil and gas in the Lower Carboniferous Carbonate Platform of the Dnieper-Donets basin (DDB) is facing with particular problems caused by lack of specific knowledge about the morphology and origin of carbonate reservoir. An integrated 3D seismic analysis and potential fields inversion coupled with examination of outcropped analogs in the Southern Donbass for these carbonates have revealed that Bogatoyka gas condensate field reservoir is of hydrothermal origin, similar to the Trenton-Black River one in North America.
