Estimate based on other nearby localities or region boundaries.
Margin of Error:
~69km
Locality type:
KΓΆppen climate type:
The magmatic suites of the region cover an area of c. 2000kmΒ². They do not crop out at the surface, but have been encountered in numerous boreholes, which indicate thickness of up to 2.3km.
Age: Late Devonian based on stratigraphic evidence.
Over 80 salt domes of different sizes and shapes, many of which were studied in detail with deep well drilling. In 1963 the first oil was extracted from the salt dome at the depths of 2904-2917 m. In 1964 the fist commercial extraction at depths of 2012-2026m took place from Rechytsa Oil Field, Rechytsa District, Gomel Region, Belarus.
