“…Paleocurrent directions in this part of the succession indicate sediment derivation mainly from the Silesian Ridge on the southern side of the basin (Ksią _ zkiewicz 1962;Unrug 1963;Leszczyński 1981). Sedimentary facies and their distribution suggest deposition in a system of coalescing basin-floor fans (Dziadzio et al 2005). The increased supply of coarse-clastic sediment from the south indicates an elevated, tectonically active basin margin.…”

This study analyses the rhodolith-bearing deposits in the largest and most rhodolith-rich outcrop of the Polish Outer Carpathian flysch, located in the Silesian Nappe, at the village of Melsztyn. The rhodoliths and sparse associated biota occur as resedimented components in a deep-marine succession of siliciclastic conglomerates and coarse-grained sandstones, deposited by high-density turbidity currents and debris flows. The sediment was derived from a fan-delta system located at the southern margin of the Silesian flysch basin. Stratigraphic data indicate that the succession represents the Upper Istebna Sandstone deposited during the Late Paleocene. The rhodoliths are composed mostly of coralline red algae with seven genera and eight species representing the family Sporolithaceae and the subfamilies Mastophoroideae and Melobesioideae. Rhodoliths show sub-spheroidal and subellipsoidal shapes with encrusting, warty and lumpy growth forms. Lumpy growth forms show massive inner arrangements, whereas the encrusting growth forms are usually made of thin thalli and show more loosely packed inner arrangements. The rhodoliths grew on a moderately mobile siliciclastic substrate in a shallow-marine environment with a low net sedimentation rate. It is inferred that the growth of rhodoliths was favored during a relative sea-level rise. During the subsequent sea-level fall, the rhodoliths and associated siliciclastic deposits were resedimented by gravity flows into the deep-sea setting. The analyzed deposits, like other Paleocene-Eocene deposits of the Polish Outer Carpathians, provide no evidence of coeval widespread shallow-marine carbonate sedimentation along the margins of the Outer Carpathian flysch basins.

“…(Figure 7). In the petroleum system developed in the Silesian Unit of the Outer Carpathians flysch belt, the Istebna and Krosno sandstones are assumed to be the principal reservoir rocks, in which gas and oil are accumulated in structural traps-fault-related synclines and anticlines, sealed by intercalations of fine-grained sediments, e.g., [70][71][72][73]. Hydrocarbons were generated from Menilite, Cieszyn, Verovice, and Lgota Beds (Figure 7), with TOC = 0.69-12.2%, locally exceeding 20%, and HI = 49-713 mg HC/g TOC in the former unit [74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84].…”

New Opportunities for Oil and Gas Exploration in Poland—A Review

et al. 2022

Reserves totaling ~142 BCM (5 TCF) of natural gas trapped in 306 fields and ~22 MTOE (~157 MMBOE) of crude oil in 87 fields have been discovered. The prospection, exploration, and production of hydrocarbons are licensed: an entity interested in these kinds of activities needs to have concession, which is granted by the Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment for 10 to 30 years according to one of two independent ways — international tender or open door procedure. In this review, the most prospective areas for oil and gas exploration in Poland, selected by the Polish Geological Survey, and announced as dedicated for the next 6th tender round, planned in the second half of 2022, are described. These are: Block 413–414, Block 208, Cybinka–Torzym, Zielona Góra West, and Koło areas. The main exploration target of these tender areas is related to conventional and unconventional accumulations of gas and oil in the Carpathian basement, Carpathian Foredeep, and Outer Carpathians (Block 413–414), as well as in the Carboniferous, Permian Rotliegend, Zechstein Main Dolomite (Block 208, Cybinka–Torzym, Zielona Góra West), and in the Mesozoic of the Polish Lowlands (Koło). The second way of granting concession in Poland is the so-called open door procedure, in which an entity may apply for a concession for any other area selected on its own.

“…The lithological inventory of this nappe includes deposits formed mainly in the Silesian Basin (e.g. Książkiewicz, 1962Książkiewicz, , 1977Unrug, 1979;Cieszkowski et al, 1985;Słomka, 1995;Dziadzio et al, 2005;Golonka, Waśkowska-Oliwa, 2007;Golonka et al, 2013 and papers cited therein), which was a part of the Carpathian Basin. Sedimentation in the Silesian Basin lasted from the Jurassic until the Oligocene.…”
