SHALE GAS AND ITS COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL IN UKRAINE. Paper 2. Black shale complexes of Ukraine and their gas potential in Volyn-Podolia and North-Western Pre-Black sea region

The main prospects for natural (not to be confused with synthetic) shale gas in Ukraine are connected not with menilite and combustible shales but with more ancient black shales in mezocatagenesis zone of petroliferous basins.

Description
Summary:The main prospects for natural (not to be confused with synthetic) shale gas in Ukraine are connected not with menilite and combustible shales but with more ancient black shales in mezocatagenesis zone of petroliferous basins. Specifically, a number of promising for shale gas targets may be determined isolated in Volyn-Podolia and Western Pre-Black sea region. Drilling of special cored wells (with specific set of logging, investigations of lithology, petrophysic properties, gas-saturation, kerogen and gas geochemistry of black shales) and pursuance of seismic prospecting 3D for purposes of space mapping of black shale lithosomes, recognizing of fractured and intraporous overpressured zones.
