Περίληψη

The focus on exploiting natural gas resources has been increased in the recent years since it was characterized as the transitional fuel to a net-zero era. Consequently, a reevaluation of the gas resources under a new perspective seems to be logical. Within this context, the gas-bearing Miocene sediments of the Messara basin in Crete (Greece) are discussed in this paper. The gas shows have been first reported during the 1990’s, without being thoroughly evaluated. This paper presents the interpretation of eight legacy onshore seismic reflection lines, which led to the construction of the 3D subsurface structural model of the Neogene Messara basin. The seismic data reveals the basin depocenter which accommodates approximately 1500 m of the Miocene sediments. The relationship of the Miocene deposits with the existence of shallow gas is also examined and discussed. New organic geochemical results combined with the published geochemical data are used to discuss the gas generation potential of the Miocene sediments. The porosity and permeability measurements on surface samples are also presented to describe the reservoir characteristics. The integration of the data mentioned above suggests that the Miocene sediments of the Messara basin comprise intervals with adequate organic matter to generate the observed gasses and good reservoir sandstones to accumulate the generated gas. The gas might have been trapped by lateral and vertical facies changes which provide efficient stratigraphic trapping mechanisms.
