The Ionian zone is the main object of seismic interpretation for a long time. Within this framework, we shall analyze the new seismic intrpretation methods used in oil and gas exploration in the western part of Ionian zone. The Ionian zone is very complex involving certain tectonic faults. In the central part, we can see the duplex tectonic style. Anticline belts from east to west can be interpreted.The Ionian zone comprises three anticline belts:Berati belt, Kurveleshi belt and Cika belt. By application of SeisWork2D in the eastern part of the belt, we have evidenced some perscpective structures, meanwhile in the western part, the seismic quality is very chaotic. Kurveleshi belt is constructed by structures of various forms and dimensions associated with developed tectonics up to thrusting. Cika anticline belt is constructed mainly by prolonged structures of considerable dimensions associated with evaporate outcrops as in Xara, Fterra, Cika etc.
The area under studying is situated in the western part of Albania. A number of oilfields within the orogene have been found over the platform. There are analysed a lot of different cases of trapping in carbonate structures. Application of SeisWork2D is a powerful interpretative tool, that gives us new insight into the subsurface. Subtle details that would be hidden on paper section are revealed on the screen, thanks to color, high-resolution graphics and a wide variety of display options. Gathered and analysed data consist of exploration and development wells, seismic lines, logs, well testing, geochemical and petrophysical analyses. Some types of the traps are demonstrated practically and are prescribed in conformity with incontestable the facts data. The paper intent to explain main geological factors that influenced in trap formation in carbonate reservoirs and the characteristics of seismic facies on carbonate. The experience shows that it is difficult to explore the traps in a complicated geological framework, where a complex of the geological phenomena's are interfered
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
