Central Northern Bulgaria falls within the range of the North-Bulgarian artesian basin, characterized by a wide spread of storey aquifer system. The main aim of the present study is to characterize the features of the chemical composition of groundwater in the three most important pressure aquifers in the studied area (Senonian, Upper-Jurassic ? Lower-Cretaceous and Triassic), which are formed in carbonate rocks with Mesozoic age. In the background of the regional hydrogeological conditions, spatial change of the ...

Oil and gas exploration in Bulgaria has been mainly conducted in Northern Bulgaria. Up to 2500 boreholes have been drilled on the territory of the country so far with a depth of several hundred meters to more than 6000 m. During drilling, groundwater with different hydrochemical properties, often with high total dissolved solids (TDS) and contents of a number of elements, have been registered. After the completion of the drillings, many of them have not been liquidated, as in some of the boreholes artesian water o...
