“…In or der to iden tify the or i gin of oil from the Lopushna field, geo chem i cal data from the oil sam ples stud ied have been compared with re sults al ready ob tained from oils and source rocks from two ex ist ing pe tro leum sys tems in the area of the Ukrainian Carpathians, namely the pe tro leum sys tems of the Outer Carpathians and of the plat form de pos its of the base ment of the Ukrai nian Carpathian Foredeep (Koltun, 1992;Koltun et al, 1998;Kotarba et al, 2005Kotarba et al, , 2007Kotarba and Koltun, 2006;Wiêc³aw et al, 2012).…”

1 Na tional Acad emy of Sci ences of Ukraine, In sti tute of Ge ol ogy and Geo chem is try of Com bus ti ble Min er als, Naukova 3a, 79060 Lviv, Ukraine The Lopushna oil field has been dis cov ered in Mesozoic-Paleogene strata of the plat form base ment be neath the Ukrai nian Outer (Flysch) Carpathians. Oils from two main ac cu mu la tions, oc cur ring in Up per Cre ta ceous sand stone and Up per Ju rassic lime stone res er voirs, have been ana lysed in or der to iden tify their or i gin and re la tion to the known pe tro leum sys tems in the re gion of the Outer Carpathians and the base ment of the Carpathian Foredeep. Re sults of geo chem i cal in ves ti ga tions of oils, in clud ing biomarker and iso to pic data, show a good cor re la tion with oils ac cu mu lated in Carpathian flysch strata. The oils are low-sul phur and did not un dergo sig nif i cant deg ra da tion. They were gen er ated from Type II or II/III kerogen, de posited in anoxic en vi ron ments in clastic sed i ments. Gen er a tion oc curred at the peak of "oil win dow", prob a bly in the tem per ature range of 122 to 126 o C. The pres ence of oleanane in di cates Cre ta ceous or youn ger source rocks. Good cor re la tion of biomarker and iso to pic data with the or ganic mat ter dis persed in the Oligocene Menilite Beds oc cur ring at the top of the Carpathian flysch suc ces sion al lowed iden ti fi ca tion of these as source rocks for oils of the Lopushna field, which thus can be re garded as an oil fam ily of the Outer Carpathians. The mi gra tion dis tance for both the Lopushna oils and oils ac cu mu lated in the Carpathian flysch strata was sim i lar. A num ber of sub-ver ti cal dis lo ca tions, along which the sub sided flysch strata oc cur at the same depth level as the Ju ras sic and Cre ta ceous rocks of the plat form, can be as sumed as pos si ble mi gra tion pathways from the ma ture source rocks of the Oligocene Menilite Beds of the Boryslav-Pokuttya, Skyba or Krosno units to the Lopushna type traps, which sug gests the pos si bil ity of ex is tence of other hy dro car bon ac cu mu la tions of this type. The Lopushna field so far is unique in con tain ing this type of oil found in the base ment of the Ukrai nian Carpathian Foredeep.

Geo log i cal Quar terly, 59 (4): 750-761, doi: 10.7306/gq.1261The Up per Badenian and Sarmatian sand stones rec og nized from bore holes in south east ern Po land and west ern Ukraine are very fine to me dium-grained subarkosic and sublithic arenites and wackes.

Eodiagenesis here com prised me chan i cal com pac tion, de vel op ment of chlorite, microcrystalline cal cite, py rite, sid er ite, kaolinite and quartz, and dis so lu tion of feld spar and mica grains. Mesodiagenesis in cluded quartz and K-feldspar overgrowths, albitisation, crystallisation of do lo mite and an ker ite and coarsely crys tal line cal cite, dis so lu tion of feld spar grains and car bon ate ce ment, and illite growth. The iso to pic data of d 18 O VPDB of car bon ate ce ments sug gest their crys tal li sation from porewater which is a mix ture of ma rine and me te oric wa ters. The d 13 C VPDB val ues sug gest der i va tion of car bon from mi cro bial methanogenesis of or ganic mat ter. The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr val ues in coarsely crys tal line cal cite are higher than those of Badenian sea wa ter. The ra dio genic stron tium may have been sup plied dur ing diagenesis by me te oric wa ters drain ing the con ti nen tal area. The Mid dle Mio cene sand stones show better fil tra tion abil i ties (good and very good) in the west ern part of the study area (Po land) than in the east.
