Geomagnetic field and magnetic lineaments of the Southern oil and gas region of Ukraine

The analysis of the anomalous magnetic field of Southern oil and gas region of Ukraine using modern geophysical technologies was done. Schemes of regional and local magnetic lineaments of the study area are completed. The analysis of histograms of their strike azimuths shown that in the study region is dominated linear structures with submeridional and sublatitudinal trends. Submeridional trends of magnetic lineaments are characteristic for the East European Craton and due to likely presence of relevant fault zones that extend from the Ukrainian Shield. Sublatitudinal magnetic lineaments agreed with trends of the East European Craton border, Paleozoic and Mesozoic sutures and accompanying structural elements that are associated with the formation of the transition zone to the Black Sea megadepression. The available diagonal strike azimuths of structures have subordinate values. Delineated magnetic lineaments in the future will be used to predict oil and gas deposits in region.
