FIGURE 6
Northern Basin Dip Line
The northern basin extends southeast from the Po Depression
to the Istria Platform. It is defined by a thick Plio-Pleistocene sequence (the Apulian thrust foredeep) onlapping onto a deformed
Oligo-Miocene foredeep section and Mesozoic carbonate platform/platform margin sequence below the Messinian unconformity. In Italian waters, the deformation in the Mesozoic section
is dominated by salt walls and diapirs that have been compressed
by Apulian thrusting. In Croatia, the sub-Messinian unconformity comprises Oligo-Miocene foredeep.
The Plio-Pleistocene clastics strongly onlap the Messinian unconformity, such that this unit is remarkably thin, or absent in the
east against the coast of Croatia. Ponded stacked turbidites and
pro-delta clastics provide the reservoir for the Croatian gas fields.
The Cenozoic basin fill extends to below 2.0 seconds TWT in the
deeper parts of the basin and the gas fields, and discoveries are
associated with strong "soft kicks" with amplitude and amplitudevariation-with-offset anomalies (Figure 6).
The central basin, which is bounded by the Istria carbonate
platform to the northwest and the Gargano Arch to the southeast,
is less asymmetric than the northern basin, with the Italian margin less loaded by the Apulian foredeep. The basin on the east
side of this line represents the Oligocene foredeep to the Dinarides. The deepest reflectivity at 6.0 seconds TWT is close to (and
may reflect) Triassic source rock.
Several wells in the basin have encountered oil in Cretaceous
and Triassic reservoirs, in addition to gas and oil shows in the Oligo-Miocene. Jurassic and Cretaceous carbonate sequence depositional facies can be readily interpreted on the 2013-14 2-D data,
presenting the opportunity to delineate the platform margin in this
structurally complex area to reveal new plays and previously unimaged traps. Identifying the true carbonate platform margin, and
the plays associated with it, is the key to finding porosity in this
margin, which when tied to the oil migration studies, will reveal
a new suite of oil plays for explorers to chase.
The deeper-water southern basin is located south of the Gargano
