Diapir Folds Zone (= Mio-Pliocene Zone) as major subunit of the Carpathian Foredeep lies between the Buzau and Dambovita valleys and between the folds of the inner Carpathians and the external flanks of the Carpathian Foredeep. This geological unit represents the most prolific zones of accumulation in Romania in which numerous hydrocarbon deposits of Tertiary age have been discovered in more than 150 years of exploration. Diapir Folds Zone can be considered a world class hydrocarbon province having several ?giant?...

Getic Depression is a mature and prolific petroleum province in the Carpathian Orogen. It belongs to a large group of petroleum systems in Romania, respectively Carpathian Foredeep. Getic Depression represents the foredeep of the Cretaceous to Paleogene Southern Carpathians. During the Paleogene to Early Miocene it has been affected by transtension due to the eastward movement of the Inner Carpathians. Finally, the basin has been inverted and thrusted over Moesia during the Mid-Miocene collision of the Carpathians...
