Course Content (Syllabus)
The geology of Prinos Oil field and South Kavala Gas field, discovered near Thassos Island in North Aegean Sea, are presented. The hydrocarbon traps are related to a fault block closure and to a salt induced structure respectively. Are also presented the geology and the hydrocarbon potential of the offshore and onshore sedimentary basins in Western Greece and Southern Crete. The Pre-Apulian and the Ionian zones, the two most external portions of the Hellenide fold-and-thrust belt, present important petroleum potential, showing similar geochemical characteristics (‘analogues’) with the producing fields in Italy. The active petroleum systems within the EEZ of Cyprus, the Levantine basin, and the SE Mediterranean area are presented. The impact of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) on the petroleum systems of the Eastern Mediterranean is assessed.
