The sufficient and responsible supply of mineral resources at fair market conditions is an essential basis for Austria's economic development. Although the geological availability of raw materials is relatively high, disruptions due to geopolitical, economic, or circumstances such as pandemics or natural disasters can lead to a shortage of mineral...

The Vienna Basin is a major hydrocarbon province with a long exploration history. Within the basin, secondary migration from Upper Jurassic source rocks into stacked Middle Miocene (Badenian) sandstone reservoirs was formerly considered to have occurred almost entirely along major fault zones. However recent exploration data has suggested that in a...

The Lower Oligocene succession of the İhsaniye Formation, exposed at Karaburun on the Turkish (Thrace) coast of the Black Sea, provides insights into potential hydrocarbon source rock extent in the southwestern part of the Black Sea Basin. Presently, no detailed study of the İhsaniye Formation exists with regards to organic matter content and type....

The İhsaniye Formation is exposed near Karaburun (Turkey) along the Black Sea shore in 50 m high cliffs. The Lower Oligocene sediments are a time equivalent of the lower part of the “Maykop” source rocks and provide insights into the hydrocarbon potential of the southwestern part of the Black Sea. The present study is based on geochemical parameter...

Rocks deposited in the Oligocene Paratethys are recognized as one of the most important source rocks in the Flysch Carpathians. The Šitbořice Member (uppermost NP23 to lowermost NP25 zone) represents the upper part of the Menilite Formation in the Outer Flysch Carpathians of the Czech Republic. This paper presents results of bulk geochemical analys...

Oligocene successions in the North Alpine Foreland Basin (NAFB) and the Western Carpathians reflect Paratethys-wide paleogeographic changes, which also control their petroleum potential. Whereas these rocks have been studied in detail in both areas, the transition zone is still under-researched. In order to fill this gap, the Oligocene succession i...

The Paratethys area extends from Central Europe to the borders of the Caspian Sea in Central Asia and hosts a significant number of petroleum provinces, many of which have been charged by Eocene to Miocene source rocks of supra‐regional significance. These include highly oil‐prone Middle Eocene marls and limestones in the Eastern Paratethys (Kuma F...

For over a century, oil has been produced in Georgia from oilfields located in the foreland basins between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus foldbelts. To date, little information on the associated source rocks has been available. In this context, this paper presents a study of 380 samples of Eocene (Kuma Formation) and Oligocene to Lower Miocene (Ma...

From September 12-21, the main excursion of the geologists of the Montanuniversität Leoben took place in Lapland, northern Finland & Sweden. Thanks to the organisation of Prof. Melcher and Prof. Prochaska and especially with the support of Dr. Kari Niiranen (LKAB) the excursion covered interesting spots for economic geologists and mineralogists ali...

Oligocene and Lower Miocene deposits in the Paratethys are important source rocks, but reveal major stratigraphic and regional differences. As a consequence of the first Paratethys isolation, source rocks with very good oil potential accumulated during Early Oligocene time in the Central Paratethys. Coeval source rocks in the Eastern Paratethys are...
