Abstract

According to their petrographic characteristics, periplatform clastics sedimented along the Dinarides carbonate platform represent potential reservoir rocks of regional spreading. They are spread in the Adriatic offshore in the basement of Tertiary clastics as cap rocks, from Istria offshore in the north to Prevlaka offshore on the southeastern boarder of Croatian territorial waters in the length of over 550 km. Periplatform clastics are also found along Apulian and Friuli platforms, as petroleum-productive sediments.
It is necessary to point out that these sedimentary rocks of younger Mesozoic and Paleogene age were not the subject of systematic geophysical exploration and exploration drilling up to now in the Croatian offshore, despite their high potential regarding possible gas and oil discoveries.
