Abstract
Summary
High accuracy gravity, used to build a detailed 3D density model of one of the biggest salt diapirs in the Dnieper-Donets basin, evidence the presence of the overturned Middle-Lower Carboniferous flaps. Model is supported by well core data, theoretical geomechanical models, and data from the adjacent hydrocarbon field. Both regional tectonic settings and density anomalies in the inverted 3D density model suggest a high probability of big to huge hydrocarbon accumulations to be associated with an identified overturned flaps.
