ANALYSIS OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE UPPER DEVONIAN SALT FORMATION IN THE SOUTHERN LATERAL PART OF THE PRIPYAT BASIN

Abstract

A detailed study of the materials of previous research on the distribution of the Devonian deposits within the southern part of the Pripyat basin on the territory of Ukraine was carried out in order to determine their lithofacial composition. According to the results of the processing of the primary geological material (geological maps, sections and wells), modern distribution circuits of the Upper Devonian (Frasnian and Famennian) salt formations on the studied territory are established. The general description of the lithological composition of the Upper Devonian sediments is described and features of the material composition of salt formations are described. Perspectives of attraction of salt formations of this territory for use in underground construction are considered.
