Abstract

Summary

“There has been a longstanding debate on age and kinematics of the opening of the Black Sea Basins. This paper presents observations and insights from seismic and a key deep water well tie ( ) that constrains the age of the opening. Previous estimates of timing of opening have included the Middle Jurassic ( and ), the Cretaceous, Cenomanian to Mid Santonian ( ), Paleocene ( ) and Eocene ( and ).

Constraining the age is critical for projecting petroleum elements into the basin from the surrounding marginal petroliferous basins and to enable a full understanding of drilling results in the basin to date which have had no significant commercial oil discoveries in deep water.”
