LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY OF SUPERIMPOSED STRATA LAYERS ABOVE
CARBONIFEROUS FORMATIONThe well has a planned total depth of 4,700 metres and the principle target was anticipated a depth of around 4,390 metres, in the middle
Carboniferous formation.
Firstly, if the
Carboniferous formation had constituted elongated, uprised horst, the style of tectonic deformation would have to be at least partly symmetric relative the axis of such a horst.
The actual
carboniferous formation consisted of layers of coal, sandstone and a few thin layers of clay stone.

Based on its stratigraphic features and structural position, the Selerpe series can be correlated with these
Carboniferous formations.
Below the
Carboniferous formations there are Lower Paleozoic formations, covered with Devonian and Lower Carbon limestone formations (Carboniferous limestone).
