Description
The Mesohellenic Basin (MHB) seismic interpretation study, conducted as part of the Horizon 2020-funded PilotSTRATEGY project, aims to enhance the assessment of the CO₂ storage resource in the area. This work aimed to advance these resources toward contingent status based on available legacy seismic data. Situated in Western Macedonia, onshore Northern Greece, the MHB represents a prominent sedimentary basin within the Tethyan orogenic belt, which is characterised by complex tectonic evolution and sedimentary processes.
The report provides an overview of the basin's geological framework, outlining its geodynamic evolution and stratigraphy. The MHB developed as a piggy-back basin, with stratigraphic formations that include potential reservoir units including the Eptachorion and Pentalophos formations. These units are characterised by turbiditic deposits and significant lithological variations due to tectonic and sedimentary dynamics.
