RESERVOIR AND SOURCE‐ROCK CHARACTERISATION OF THE EARLY PALAEOZOIC INTERVAL IN THE PERIBALTIC SYNECLISE, NORTHERN POLAND

Detailed investigations have been conducted on samples from 2,750m of conventional cores from 18 wells penetrating the Cambrian siliciclastics in northern Poland. The results of sedimentological, petrological and geochemical analyses were combined with a computeraided regional evaluation of the Polish onshore sector of the Peribaltic Syneclise. Our results may help in the successful future identification of Cambrian prospects in northern Poland.
