Abstract

Summary Using a regional, integrated 2D seismic dataset, we have evaluated the overall geological history and play types across the Eastern Mediterranean region. Results are presented focused on three specific areas due to their particular interest from a hydrocarbon exploration. The Libyan offshore and North African transform margin: here we show how the relationship between the outer high of the transform margin and the extensional basins landward have created ideal conditions for a restricted, shelfal basin to develop which we demonstrate has great exploration potential. The Levant Margin, Herodotus Basin and Nile Delta: this complex area has been the focus of hydrocarbon exploration success for over three decades with discovery and exploitation of multiple play types. Here we place those plays into the tectonic framework and discuss future opportunities The Ionian and related Accretionary Systems: here we investigate the relationship between the Calabrian and Hellenic accretionary systems of the dual subduction zones of the Ionian oceanic plate and place them in the context of the petroleum plays
东地中海的结构及其对潜在油气藏的影响,将边缘盆地联系在一起
利用区域综合二维地震数据集,我们评估了东地中海地区的整体地质历史和油气藏类型。结果主要集中在三个特定区域,因为它们对油气勘探特别感兴趣。利比亚近海和北非转换边缘:这里我们展示了转换边缘的外高与向陆地伸展的盆地之间的关系如何为一个有限的陆架盆地的发展创造了理想的条件,我们证明了它具有巨大的勘探潜力。黎凡特边缘、希罗多德盆地和尼罗河三角洲:30多年来,这一复杂地区一直是油气勘探的重点,发现和开发了多种油气藏类型。在这里,我们将这些盆地置于构造框架中,并讨论未来的发展机会。在这里,我们研究了爱奥尼亚洋板块双俯冲带的卡拉布里亚和希腊增生系统之间的关系,并将它们置于含油气盆地的背景下
