Abstract

Summary

Many studies have described the complicated tectonic pattern of Albanides. The data show the presence of the three lithological formations: evaporitic, carbonate and clastic formations. This paper presents the tectonic model created as a result of the relationships of these formations with each other. The older formation, evaporitic formation, is already accepted to have acted as a detachment layer, which is also cut by thrusts that carry evaporites to the surface along their hanging walls.

This paper attempts also to show the relationship of this tectonic pattern with the oil fields discovered to date in Albania.

Many published papers show different examples about the complicated tectonic model with a lot of westword thrusting tectonic within Ionian zone in Albania, while the authors of this paper are refering to Kurveleshi area as an example.
