Abstract
As is known, the Pannonian Basin is the most extensive basin in the intra-Carpathian region, framed by the Alpine-Carpathian chain. This unit represents a structure of Neogene age, superimposed on Mesozoic compressional formations originating from the Dinaric Alps and from the internal area of the Carpathians. Paleogene strike-slip formations develop over these structures. During the Mio-Pliocene, the intracarpathian zone was characterized by an intense process of subsidence, controlled by the orogenetic evolution of the region. According to Săndulescu (1998), the spatial and temporal relationships between the shortening of the folded belt and the installation of calc-alkaline magmatism in the intracarpathian space are important indications of the interdependence between these two dynamic processes. The research presents a geological and physical model of the T structure, prepared based on the information available from the geologicaltechnical works carried out from the wells as well as based on the information obtained from the mining process carried out. The objectives of the research are: – drawing up the geological-physical model; – analysing the current state of exploitation. From an administrative point of view, structure T is supposed to be located in Timis county, approximately 60 km west of the city of Timisoara near the border with Serbia. From a geological point of view, structure T is located in the eastern part of the Pannonian Basin on the Algyo – Ferencszallas – Mokrin structural alignment between the Mako – Tomnatec Depressions to the E – NE and the North Banat to the W – NW. Hydrocarbon accumulations (free gas and gas-condensate) were highlighted at the level of the Paleozoic and the Pannonian.
