“…In recent years, work by Burgess et al [36] has been published that describes various limitations and potential factors influencing the seismic expression of carbonate buildups. Besides, numerous publications show one how to deal with potential limits in the seismo-stratigraphic interpretation of carbonate depositional systems, and to what extent modern seismic data can be used for the analysis of the evolution of ancient carbonate platforms, the examination of karst systems, or the impact of diagenesis (e.g., [49,52,144]). It has also been recommended that the investigation of the elements of the carbonate depositional system (including carbonate buildups), via the seismic facies approach, should be supported by adequate calibration between seismic data and sedimentological and diagenetic data obtained from well-cores [144].…”

“…During the last few decades, seismic data analysis proved its applicability in the analysis of carbonate depositional systems, due to its ability to detect lateral facies' changes from massive organic buildups into surrounding stratified deposits, which are related to variations of the seismic reflection patterns or so-called lateral seismic facies changes (for more details see, e.g., [44]). Depositional features such as carbonate buildups can be often clearly visible on seismic data because of significant velocity and density contrasts between different lithological types of carbonate rocks (e.g., contrast between massive, reef limestones, bedded limestone and marls deposits), as evident from numerous recently published papers dedicated to different aspects of the seismic interpretation of carbonate buildups of different ages, and from various sedimentary basins (e.g., [37,38,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]).…”

The presented study is devoted to the subsurface Upper Jurassic carbonate buildups and surrounding stratified inter-buildup deposits in the hitherto less recognized area, in comparison with other parts of the northern Tethyan shelf in Poland and Europe. The study area is located within the present-day Miechów Trough, almost entirely covered by thick Cretaceous and younger deposits. This paper shows results of the interpretation of 2D seismic data, calibrated by data from deep wells. Investigation of various elements of the Upper Jurassic carbonate depositional system in the Miechów Trough is supported by seismic facies and attribute analysis. The four distinctive seismic facies—(A) bedded, (B) mound-shaped, (C) contorted-chaotic, and (D) chaotic—were assigned to the main Upper Jurassic sedimentary facies, represented by (1) bedded facies, (2) massive facies (carbonate buildups) and (3) deposits of gravity mass-flows. The results of this study were used to construct a depositional model for the Upper Jurassic succession, that focuses on the initiation, growth and demise of the large carbonate buildups in this part of the basin. This paper also presents the more extensive distribution of the Upper Jurassic carbonate buildups than was previously proposed for the Miechów Trough.

“…In Poland also, only a few papers on the seismic interpretation of Upper Jurassic carbonate buildups have been published so far, usually in local journals and focused mostly on exploration-related problems (Gliniak et al, 2000Urbaniec, 2001, 2005;Misiarz, 2003;Misiarz et al, 2004;Jędrzejowska-Tyczkowska et al, 2005Myśliwiec et al, 2006). Recently, several new buildups have been identified and interpreted using seismic data (Urbaniec, 2019). However, those results represent the more southerly part of the basin, located beneath the Miocene of the Carpathian Foredeep Basin (about 50 km to the south of the study area).…”

Abstract. The geometry and internal architecture of the Upper Jurassic carbonate depositional system in the epicontinental basin of central and western Europe and within the northern margin of the Tethyan shelf are hitherto only partly recognized, especially in areas with thick Cretaceous and younger cover such as the Miechów Trough. In such areas, seismic data are indispensable for the analysis of a carbonate depositional system, in particular for the identification of the carbonate buildups and the enveloping strata. The study area is located in the central part of the Miechów Trough that in the Late Jurassic was situated within the transition zone between the Polish part of the central and western European epicontinental basin and the Tethys Ocean. This paper presents the results of the interpretation of 2D seismic data calibrated by deep wells that document the presence of large Upper Jurassic carbonate buildups. The lateral extent of particular structures is in the range of 400–1000 m, and their heights are in the range of 150–250 m. The interpretation of seismic data revealed that the depositional architecture of the subsurface Upper Jurassic succession in the Miechów Trough is characterized by the presence of large carbonate buildups surrounded by basinal (bedded) limestone and marly-limestone deposits. These observations are compatible with depositional characteristics of well-recognized Upper Jurassic carbonate sediments that crop out in the adjacent Kraków–Częstochowa Upland. The presented study provides new information about carbonate open-shelf sedimentation within the transition zone in the Late Jurassic, which proves the existence of a much more extensive system of organic buildups which flourished in this part of the basin. The results obtained, due to the high quality of available seismic data, also provide an excellent generic reference point for seismic studies of carbonate buildups in other basins and of different ages.

The geometry and internal architecture of the Upper Jurassic carbonate depositional system in the epicontinental basin of western and central Europe, and within the northern margin of the Tethyan shelf are hitherto only partly recognised, especially in areas with thick Cretaceous and younger cover such as the Miechów Trough. In such areas, seismic data are indispensable for analysis of a carbonate depositional system, in particular for identification of the carbonate buildups and the enveloping strata. The study area is located in the central part of the Miechów Trough that in the Late Jurassic was situated within the transition zone between the Polish part of western and central European epicontinental basin and the Tethys Ocean. This paper presents the results of interpretation of 2D seismic data calibrated by deep wells that document the presence of large Upper Jurassic carbonate buildups. The lateral extent of particular structures is in the range of 400–1000 m, and their heights are in range of 150–250 m. Interpretation of seismic data revealed that the depositional architecture of the subsurface Upper Jurassic succession in the Miechów Trough is characterised by the presence of large carbonate buildups surrounded by basinal (bedded) limestone-marly deposits. These observations are compatible with depositional characteristics of well-recognised Upper Jurassic carbonate sediments that crop out in the adjacent Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The presented study provides new information about carbonate open shelf sedimentation within the transition zone in the Late Jurassic, which proves the existence of much more extensive system of organic buildups which flourished in this part of the basin. Obtained results, due to high quality of available seismic data, provide also an excellent generic reference point for seismic studies of carbonate buildups from other basins and of different ages.
