Abstract

Integrated interpretation of regional geochemical data and results of the numerical BM&PSM performed at the east part of the Sea of Azov and northeast part of the Black Sea reveal a correlation between the spatial distribution of light hydrocarbons in seabed sediments and investigated petroleum systems. The obtained results point out that the spatial distribution of gaseous hydrocarbons in marine sediments reflects the geological structure of sedimentary cover, and the maturity of petroleum systems, located within the basins. The origin of background levels and anomalies of light hydrocarbons was explained depending on the present-day petroleum system activity and the structure of overburden rocks.
