OIL AND GAS GENERATION IN THE MAIN POTENTIAL SOURCE ROOKS OF MESOZOIC-CENOZOIC SEDIMENTS OF THE BULGARIAN SECTOR OF THE BLACK SEA
The scales of oil and gas in Mesozoic-Cenozoic sediments of the Bulgarian sector of the Black Sea were evaluated on the basic of historical-genetic method developed in P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of Russian Academy of Sciences. Predicted distribution of the main oil and gas source formations in sedimentary cover is outlined and temperature conditions of their occurrence are calculated. Schematic maps showing distribution of organic matter concentration and types in Oligocene-Lower Miocene and Middle-Upper Eocene deposits as well as contemporary temperature maps of modern along their bottom were drawn. Maps of spot distribution of oil and gas formations were developed on the basis of these data. Recommendations on further prospecting work are given.
