“…Permian and Mesozoic rocks in the Baltic Basin show much lower thermal maturity compared to the lower Palaeozoic sediments, usually below 0.6 % VR (Grotek, 1999(Grotek, , 2006Poprawa et al, 2010). Farther SE, thermal maturity is variable in the Carboniferous and Devonian-Carboniferous strata of the Podlasie and Lublin Basins, respectively (Poprawa and Pacześnia, 2002;Grotek, 2005;Botor et al, 2002Botor et al, , 2019a.

“…In the Baltic Basin, maturity modelling has shown that the increase of burial and temperature was continuous from the late Silurian to early mid-Carboniferous. Toward the west, more important was late Silurian burial, whereas in the east Devonian and early Carboniferous heating prevailed (Poprawa et al, 2010;Botor et al, 2019a). In Baltic Basin, an alternative possibility was proposed by Poprawa (2010), who suggested that peak temperatures were related to maximum burial in the Late Cretaceous.…”

The Phanerozoic tectono-thermal evolution of the SW slope of the East European Platform (EEP) in Poland is reconstructed by means of thermal maturity, low temperature thermochronometry and thermal modelling. We provide a set of new thermochronometric data and integrate stratigraphic and thermal maturity information to constrain the burial and thermal history of sediments. Apatite fission track analysis (AFT) and zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe) thermochronology have been carried out on samples of sandstones, bentonites, diabase and crystalline basement rocks collected from 17 boreholes located in central and NE Poland. They penetrated sedimentary cover of the EEP subdivided from the north to south into the Baltic, Podlasie and Lublin Basins. The average ZHe ages from Proterozoic basement rocks as well as Ordovician to Silurian bentonites and Cambrian to lower Carboniferous sandstones range from 848 ± 81 Ma to 255 ± 22 Ma with a single early Permian age of 288 Ma, corresponding to cooling after a thermal event. The remaining ZHe ages represent partial reset or source ages. The AFT ages of samples are dispersed in the range of 235.8 ± 17.3 (Middle Triassic) to 42.1 ± 11.1 (Paleogene) providing a record of Mesozoic and Cenozoic cooling. The highest frequency of the AFT ages is in the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous prior to Alpine basin inversion. Thermal maturity results are consistent with the SW-ward increase of the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sediments thickness. An important break in a thermal maturity profile exists across the base Permian-Mesozoic unconformity. Thermal modelling showed that significant heating of Ediacaran to Carboniferous sedimentary successions occurred before the Permian with maximum paleotemperatures in the earliest and latest Carboniferous for Baltic-Podlasie and Lublin Basins, respectively. The results obtained suggest an important role of early Carboniferous uplift and exhumation at the SW margin of the EEP. The SW slope of the latter was afterward overridden in the Lublin Basin by the Variscan orogenic wedge. Its tectonic loading interrupted Carboniferous uplift and caused resumption of sedimentation in the late Viséan. Consequently, a thermal history of the Lublin Basin is different from that in the Podlasie and Baltic Basins, but similar to other sections of the Variscan foreland, characterised by maximum burial at the end of Carboniferous. The Mesozoic thermal history was characterised by gradual cooling from peak temperatures at the transition from Triassic to Jurassic due to decreasing heat flow. Burial caused maximum paleotemperatures in the SW part of the study area, where the EEP was covered by an extensive sedimentary pile. However, 1

“…Tight gas is a type of natural gas, which is accumulated in the low porous (effective porosity) and low permeable rock. It can be closed in the different type of rocks, as sandstones, limestones, dolostones, shales (shale gas), or coals [21][22][23][24]. Tight gas or oil reservoirs are still challenging in finding the proper approach for detailed analysis [25,26].…”

The paper presents results of fluid flow simulation in tight rock being potentially gas-bearing formation. Core samples are under careful investigation because of the high cost of production from the well. Numerical simulations allow determining absolute permeability based on computed X-ray tomography images of the rock sample. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) give the opportunity to use the partial slip Maxwell model for permeability calculations. A detailed 3D geometrical model of the pore space was the input data. These 3D models of the pore space were extracted from the rock sample using highly specialized software poROSE (poROus materials examination SoftwarE, AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków, Poland), which is the product of close cooperation of petroleum science and industry. The changes in mass flow depended on the pressure difference, and the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient was delivered and used in further quantitative analysis. The results of fluid flow simulations were combined with laboratory measurement results using a gas permeameter. It appeared that for the established parameters and proper fluid flow model (partial slip model, Tangential Momentum Accommodation Coefficient (TMAC), volumetric flow rate values), the obtained absolute permeability was similar to the permeability from the core test analysis.

Seismic Signature of Transition Zone (Wolf Ramp) in Shale Deposits with Application of Frequency Analysis

The concept of a transition zone, known as Wolf ramp, was incorporated into the seismic interpretation of a 3D seismic survey situated within the Baltic Basin (Northern Poland). Within the survey area, there exists one formation, the Pasłęk Formation, (Lower Silurian—Llandovery), that exhibits a linear change of velocity. This characteristic—linear change of velocity—causes a reflection coefficient (i.e., seismic amplitude) produced at such a boundary to be frequency dependent. The Pasłęk Formation was considered to be a potential shale gas reservoir and it was necessary to determine its structural position and thickness. The formation is challenging for robust seismic interpretation on the migrated seismic section—it does not manifest a stable reflection coefficient, and the amplitude contrast associated with the borders of the formation is low. There is no impedance contrast that would produce a reflection of high amplitude at the top or base of the formation which excludes determination of the formation thickness, hence the estimation of reservoir volume. Within a 3D dataset, there exists only one well with complete logs that were used for the analysis. The Pasłęk Formation is a flat-lying layer that continues itself far beyond the 3D survey. It is present in wells in the vicinity of the study area. These wells lay within other 3D or 2D datasets, but the quality of the seismic is poor, and similar seismic analysis is not possible. Nevertheless, these wells were incorporated in the research to reason about the possible link between the existence of transition zone and mineral content. The method used for recognition of transition zone is spectral decomposition and spectral analyses. The integrated studies enabled us to find a link between the Wolf ramp and mudstone-claystone interval of the Silurian age and give a new example of a transition zone which is present in shale plays. The transition zone concept might be applied for shale plays identification and analysis.
