Abstract:
The aim of the present study is the subsidence and the evolution analysis of the sedimentary
basin related to the Getic Depression over the geological time and within the Totea-Vladimir
structure area. In order to achieve the basin subsidence modeling, both information resulting
from digging four wells on structure and a series of seismic profiles were used.
The results indicate that in the studied area, during the evolution of the sedimentary basin, there
were two main periods of increased subsidence, such as Burdigalian and Sarmatian-Meotian.
The first period corresponds to an extensional stage while the second one corresponds to a basin
developed on strike-slip faults.
