This paper presents the results of an analysis of selected seismic profiles (reflection and refraction data) from the Radom-Lublin area aimed at obtaining a better understanding of geological structure and the identification of hydrocarbon deposits. To accurately reproduce the seismic reflection covering the sub-Permian formations, seismic cross sections were interpreted based on effective reflection coefficients (ERC). In interpreting the results, reference was made to the results of studies of the area using other geophysical methods.
The results of these studies made it possible to obtain new information on the geology and structure of the Paleozoic complex of the Radom-Lublin area and its relationships with the basement tectonics. The structural arrangement of Carboniferous and Devonian formations as well as older Silurian, Ordovician, and Cambrian series were recognized. Selected significant tectonic and lithological discontinuities and the nature and directions of their course were characterized. Special attention was given to regional tectonic zones: the Skrzynno Fault, the Ursynów-Kazimierz fault zone and the Kock zone. The use of ERC methodology made it possible to define the boundaries of lithostratigraphic units in Carboniferous, Devonian, and older formations. The obtained results can be used to assess hydrocarbon accumulation in the area under consideration.
