Having such information about the location of tectonic faults in the rock mass reduces the likelihood of rock collapse and outburst, gas explosion, and water breakthrough during the mining operations. Modeling of the tectonic structure of the rock mass based on the data from the exploratory drilling and ground geophysical observations is of crucial importance to the extraction of mineral raw materials. Typically, in the areas of mineral extraction, tectonic faults in the rock mass are well studied using these data, but the predicted faults are represented by simplified imaginary surfaces that separate different structural parts of the rock mass and are not normally found by mining in such a form.\u0000The actual structure of tectonic faults is revealed in the course of mining, but the use of seismic survey is required for further prediction of such faults. The experience of applying these methods is shown in the examples of studies of tectonic faults of coal seams in the Donbass mines during the period from 2008 to 2012.\u0000To illustrate the capabilities of underground and surface 2D seismic surveys to accurately predict the location of faults, a site was chosen at the Dneprovskaya mine, which is characterized by the most amount of data collected from exploration drilling and geophysical methods. Also, in contrast to the mining practice when the coal seams areas are discarded based on the results of research due to difficult geological conditions or are not documented by geologists in the process of panel mining, this specific area is distinguished by the completeness of mapping of real faults exposed by mining operations.

In DF, the Mesozoic-Cenozoic sediments were raised, and subsequent erosion exposed the Carboniferous coal-bearing strata. In contrast to DF, the Paleozoic rocks in KS are covered by 1—3 km thick sediments of Mesozoic-Cenozoic age; productive structures of the earlier age cannot be confidently studied in KS by geological methods. So, geophysical methods are the promising approach for the KS deep structure studies.\u0000This work is devoted to electromagnetic (EM) studies of the electrical conductivity of rocks by the methods of magnetic variation profiling (MVP) and magnetotelluric sounding (MTS). Previously [Rokityansky, Tereshyn, 2022], we described the results of the EM research on DF in detail. MVP reveals the intense Donbas electrical Conductivity Anomaly (DCA) running along the main anticline of the folded Donbas. DCA parameters: maximum possible depth of the anomalous currents center h=18±2 km. Frequency response maximum Т0≈3600 s yields the total longitudinal conductance G=(8±2)∙108 S∙m. 70 MTS at periods 0.1—3000 s yield two conductive stripes, with the upper edge varying from 0.3 to 5 km. The stripes are parallel to the DCA axis and are considered as part of DCA. A very large value of G suggests that the anomalous body extends to some considerable depth. The DCA axis spatially coincides with an intense (up to 90 mW/m2) deep heat flow anomaly. Thus, the nature of the DCA lower part can be a partial melting. Theoretical estimates show that intense anomalous fields of geomagnetic variations arise over highly elongated conductors. Therefore, there is reason to expect that the anomaly continues eastward. We found two MTS profiles crossing the Karpinsky swell, and under both profiles strong conductivity anomalies are clearly seen. We re-interpreted original data and presented parameters of all 3 anomalies in an identical style. The main conclusion: the anomaly parameters on the three profiles are approximately the same, and one can assume with a high probability the existence of a single anomaly of electrical conductivity in the Donbas and Karpinsky Swell with a common length of more than 500 km and longitudinal conductance G≈8×108 S×m.","PeriodicalId":54141,"journal":{"name":"Geofizicheskiy Zhurnal-Geophysical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43416751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research was facilitated by and in-depth analysis of a large amount of data highlighting the density properties of Neogene-Quaternary deposits (the Pannonian Basin, the Transylvanian Depression, the Transcarpathian Trough), molasse deposits of the Carpathian Foredeep and flysch deposits of the Outer Carpathians in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine. Basic data for the construction of a three-dimensional density model of sedimentary deposits were obtained from laboratory studies of rock samples from drill core logging and deep exploratory wells, as well as rock samples taken from numerous outcrops in the research region. The average value of the density for molasse and flysch deposits of the Romanian part of the Carpathians was estimated based on the results of comparing the lithologic-stratigraphic complexes of these deposits in the adjacent areas of the eastern part of the Ukrainian Carpathians with similar ones in the Romanian Eastern Carpathians and the analysis of available data on the density of the Carpathian Foredeep and the Outer Flysch Carpathians for the Ukrainian part. The research method, which is a modification of geological reduction, has been applied in the work. Its essence consists of the sequential calculation and extraction of the three-dimensional gravity effect of sedimentary layers, the parameterization of which is better defined than those layers that lie deeper, from the anomalous gravity field. As a result, a residual gravity field is formed due to deep inhomogeneities associated with the consolidated part of the crust and the upper mantle. Calculations of gravity effects were carried out on a scale of 1:4,000,000 on a 10—10 km grid using the modern GMT-Auto. The detailed map of the residual (cleared of the effects of sedimentary layers) gravity field of the Carpathian-Pannonian region (stripped gravity map) is an effective tool in understanding the sources of the dominant gravity features of the studied region. Thus, the Pannonian Basin manifests itself as a general maximum with a number of local positive anomalies (more than 50 mGal), which are observed over small depressions filled with low-density thick sedimentary deposits: the Danube, Solnok, Makó, Békés Basins, and the Transcarpathian Trough. The phenomenon of positive and not negative values of the residual gravity field for these structures can be explained by the intrusion of the sedimentary cover of volcanic rocks, or the presence of high-density bodies with a special petrophysical composition (metamorphic complexes?) in the consolidated part of the crust. Another reason may be the effect of the regional background, which is due to the rise of Moho boundary in the Pannonian Basin to 24—26 km.

During this period, ideas about the composition and age of the series changed several times, but at the same time, until recently, the opinion of various studies about its stratigenic nature remained unchanged. In recent years, a number of publications have appeared in which other views on the origin of the “Bug series” are expressed. Initially, they concerned only individual petrographic groups, such as carbonate and magnetite-bearing rocks, which were attributed to endogenous (magmatic) origin. Later, an opinion was expressed about the nonstratigenic origin of the entire “Bug Series”, and some authors propose to abandon the dismemberment of the Early Precambrian granulite complexes into suites altogether. These ideas are based only on the materials of the study of local objects obtained by drilling and geophysical methods, and they do not take into account the results of regional geological and stratigraphic studies. Simultaneously with new ideas about the genesis of the “Bug series”, an attempt is being made to link its origin with faults and to revise its age.
 In order to discuss the problem of the “Bug series”, a series of publications has been prepared, presenting the main generalizations of many years of regional geological and thematic studies on the composition, structure, stratigraphic and structural position of the units belonging to the “Bug series”. The cycle consists of three separate articles. The first article characterizes the composition of subdivisions and rock associations included in the “Bug series” in the current Precambrian stratigraphic scheme of the Ukrainian Shield. In this second article of the cycle, ideas about the structural position of the “Bug series” and its subdivisions are considered. For a long time there was an opinion that the “Bug series” performed synclines “superimposed” on the ancient foundation. These ideas we-re convincingly refuted more than half a century ago on the example of the stratotype section of the Bug series in the area of Zavallia [Vinogradov, 1970], but sometimes some researchers still adhere to them. The data presented in this article indicate that all units that now belong to the “Bug series” are suites and strata that are part of a single Bug Area granulite complex and occupy a clearly defined stratigraphic and structural position in its section. Ideas about the connection of the “Bug series” with “superimposed” synclines or faults do not have any reliable justification.","PeriodicalId":54141,"journal":{"name":"Geofizicheskiy Zhurnal-Geophysical Journal","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135599410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At that we have taken into account the heterogeneous distribution of filtration characteristics inside the reservoir and the oil infiltration parameters on the boundaries of the reservoir. The developed method for solving the non-stationary problem of piezoconductivity in deformed oil formations allows us adequately to describe the distribution of pressure near production and injection well systems in real operating conditions. We have shown that depletion processes in vicinity of the active well mainly depend on the intensity of oil production and the degree of oil infiltration at the boundaries of the reservoir’s area and to a lesser extent on the filtration parameters inside the reservoir. Therefore, in order to maintain the proper level of oil production in the reservoir’s area, it is necessary, for example, thanks to the use of modern technologies (system of injection wells), to ensure a sufficient inflow of the oil phase at the borders of the considered area. We have shown that in the cases of low oil infiltration at the boundaries of the reservoir area, the value of depletion is directly proportional to the production power of the well. At the same time, a decreasing of the reservoir permeability leads to a slow downing of depletion processes. The limiting value of the oil boundary infiltration coefficient, which allows achieving industrial oil production, is m. At that, the time of reaching of the stationary productive regime is directly proportional to the value of the oil permeability coefficient inside the reservoir. Before installing a system of production and injection wells in heterogeneous oil reservoirs, it is necessary to carry out a systematic analysis of the degree of depletion of the working reservoir’s areas in order to place them in such a way that would ensure the effective dynamics of filtration processes around these areas.","PeriodicalId":54141,"journal":{"name":"Geofizicheskiy Zhurnal-Geophysical Journal","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41256424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The regularity of the distribution of oil and gas deposits of the Carpathian oil and gas-bearing region revealed by geomagnetic criteria is confirmed by their connection with regional and local anomalies of the gravity field and heat flow density. According to the analysis of the regional geomagnetic field and magnetic models along the PANCAKE and RomUkrSeis geotraverses, gas fields are located above the magnetic blocks of the middle and lower parts of the Earth’s crust or in their marginal parts, and oil fields are located above practically non-magnetic deep blocks. Under the thrust part of the Carpathian arc, the regional features of the Earth’s crust structures are clearly manifested, namely, starting from the longitude of the city of Rakhiv, the submeridional direction of extension of regional anomalies of magnetic, gravity, and thermal fields and their horizontal gradient zones prevails. The oil and gas potential of the region is in good agreement with this — the gas fields are timed to the minimum values of the regional horizontal gradient of the regional magnetic field, to the increased gradient of Bouguet anomalies, as well as to the minimum values of the horizontal gradient of heat flow density anomalies. In local geophysical fields, gas fields are gravitating: to weakly negative magnetic anomalies and their gradient zones; to negative anomalies of the gravitational field predominantly; to positive anomalies of heat flow density in the northwest, within the area of Trans-European suture zone (without the middle of the Krakovets fault), and negative anomalies in the Carpathian trough. Oil and oil condensate deposits are correlated with a band of positive magnetic field anomalies, negative gravity field anomalies, and increased heat flux density values.
