Abstract

THE LUBLIN BASIN: PETROLEUM EXPLORATION RESULTS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE FOR FUTURE PROSPECTSAbstract. Exploration works carried out in the Lublin Basin have contributed to the identification of the geological structure of the area and detailed investigation of the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary succession. From 1956 until now, approximately 240 deep boreholes have been drilled which discovered several oil and gas fields. In Devonian sediments, approximately 520 depth intervals were tested (the statistics does not include production boreholes). In 280 cases, influx of uneconomic amounts of the formation fluid with value occurred. The Carboniferous sequence was investigated by approximately 300 formation tests. About 70% of them yielded significant brine flows with oil and gas shows.
