Abstract
The geological structure of the Romny salt dome and related the Romny oil field as the first discovered one in the Eastern region of Ukraine are described. The history of its discovery and development of the field are featured. The geological and geophysical study of this area is characterized. Under generalization of geological and geophysical data, paleotectonic and peleogeothermal reconstructions on the Romny structure derived from the results of drilling of Gerasymivska-1 exploration well. The cyclic intermittent development of the salt dome structure is demonstrated. It is proved that the upper intersalt Frasnian source rocks could generate hydrocarbons starting from the early Visean time. According to the results of seismic surveys the uplifted block is outlined in the area of the northern edge of the salt dome. The presence of hydrocarbon pools in of the Visean and Serpukhovian granular reservoirs as well as in the salt breccia is predicted applying seismic attributes analysis for this block. The carbonate reservoirs of the lower part of the Bashkirian sequence, the productivity of which is established at the nearest located Velyki Bubny field, can be potentially oil and gas-bearing.
