Groningen Gas Field is located within the southern part of the South Permian Basin in the northeast Netherlands. Since several wells have been producing from the Carboniferous-Permian Petroleum System, the field is considered as mature for hydrocarbon exploration. More detailed work is necessary to evaluate further exploration and development opportunities. Thus, evaluation of the subsurface has been carried out as part of the petroleum system concept by using the basin modeling. In this study, seismic interpretation was performed by using 3-dimensional seismic and borehole data with Petrel software in order to understand stratigraphy and structural settings of the area. PetroMod basin analysis software has been used for 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional basin modeling study by integrating interpreted geophysical, geological and geochemical data. Results show that the most recognized traps were formed during pre-Zechstein, and the major generation-migration and accumulation of hydrocarbon commenced during Middle Jurassic and continues to the present time. Since the timing of main hydrocarbon generation varies spatially and has begun after trap formation, both early and late migration enhances the potential of the porous Upper Rotliegend reservoirs. Prospective hydrocarbon traps may occur in the southwestern regions of the basin due to shallower depth of burial. On the other hand, all local structural highs that formed as a result of salt movement create potential traps in the region.

Modeling of a historical earthquake in Erzincan, Turkey (Ms similar to 7.8, in 1939) using regional seismological information obtained from a recent event Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-06-01) Located within a basin structure, at the conjunction of North East Anatolian, North Anatolian and Ovacik Faults, Erzincan city center (Turkey) is one of the most hazardous regions in the world. Combination of the seismotectonic and geological settings of the region has resulted in series of significant seismic activities including the 1939 (Ms similar to 7.8) as well as the 1992 (Mw = 6.6) earthquakes. The devastative 1939 earthquake occurred in the pre-instrumental era in the region with no available local...
Modeling of the 1939 Erzincan (Ms~7.8) Earthquake: Observations on Anticipated Ground Motions and Damage Distribution (2017-10-11) Located within a pull-apart basin at the conjunction of three active faults (North Anatolian, North East Anatolian and Ovacik Faults), Erzincan city center is one of the most hazardous regions in the world. Combination of the seismotectonic and geological settings of the region has resulted in series of significant seismic activities including the 27 December 1939 (Ms~7.8) and the 13 March 1992 (Mw=6.6) events. The former earthquake was in the preinstrumental era in the region with no available local seismo...
Numerical Modeling of the 1939 Erzincan Earthquake Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (null; 2019-06-26) Erzincan İli, Kuzey Anadolu Fay Hattı, Kuzey Doğu Anadolu Fay Hattı ve Ovacık Fayları arasında derin bir basen yapısı içerisinde yer almakta olup, dünyanın sismik aktivite açısından en yoğun bölgelerinden birisidir. Bölgenin sismotektonik ve jeolojik koşulları, 1939 (Ms~7.8) ve 1992 (Mw= 6.6) depremleri dahil olmak üzere bir çok tarihi ve aletsel dönem depremlerine sebep olmuştur. 1939 Erzincan depremi çok yıkıcı bir deprem olmakla birlikte, aletsel dönemden önceye denk geldiği için bu depreme ait kayıt bul...
Palaeoenvironmental and chronological constraints on the Tuglu Formation (Cankiri Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey) Mazzini, Ilaria; Hudackova, Natalia; Joniak, Peter; Kovacova, Marianna; Mikes, Tamas; Mulch, Andreas; Rojay, Fuat Bora; Lucifora, Stella; Esu, Daniela; Soulie-Maersche, Ingeborg (2013-01-01) The Cankiri Basin, located in the northern part of the Central Anatolian Plateau, is a large Tertiary basin where thick Miocene to Quaternary continental sediments overlay the Cretaceous-Tertiary units. This investigation focuses on the Tuglu Formation, an Upper Miocene succession mainly composed of dark grey silty and organic rich clays. The type section of Tuglu has been sampled for an array of multidisciplinary analyses. The palaeontological proxies included ostracod, foraminifer, nannoplankton, pollen, ...
MODELING OF THE 1939 ERZINCAN, TURKEY (MS~7.8) EARTHQUAKE: OBSERVATIONS ON ANTICIPATED GROUND MOTIONS AND FELT INTENSITY DISTRIBUTION Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh (2018-06-06) Located within a pull-apart basin at the conjunction of three active faults (North Anatolian, North East Anatolian and Ovacik Faults), Erzincan city center is one of the most hazardous regions of the world. Combination of the seismotectonic and geological settings of the region has resulted in series of significant seismic activities including the 27 December 1939 (Ms=8.0) and the 13 March 1992 (Mw=6.6) events. The former earthquake was in the pre-instrumental era in the region with no available local seism...
