New 3D seismic data uncover inspiring exploration potential for oil and gas offshore the Dobrogea Foredeep, Ukraine
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: More than forty promising structures were identified and characterized in the Dolphin 01―10 E&P special-permits area of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine within the Inner zone of the northwestern Black Sea shelf based on the latest 3D seismic data processing and analysis of geological and geophysical information. The geological model of the study area was refined and detailed, and the main components of geological risk for prospective oil-and-gas bearing complexes were assessed to form a portfolio of hydrocarbon play-based exploration prospects along with its ranking and due decision-making.
