Basin analysis in petroleum exploration. A case study from the Bekes basin, Hungary / Бассейновый анализ при разведке нефтяных месторождений. Исследование на примере бассейна Бекеш, Венгрия

Basin analysis is a comprehensive approach to decipher the geological evolution of a basin by constructing the stratigraphic framework and facies relationships, by mapping and understanding the geological structures in light of their historical development, and by examining the physical and chemical properties of rocks and their sedimentological and petroleum attributes. The purpose of the analysis is to identify potential source rocks and reservoir rocks, and to evaluate the maturation, generation, migration, and entrapment of hydrocarbons in a sedimentary basin. <...>
