Location of the Gasfields in the Periadriatic Foredeep and Some of Their Characteristics

: In this paper we have deal briefly with the geological ? tectonically position of the Periadriatic Foredeep as an integral part of the Adriatic Basin. This foredeep is stratigraphically represented by the terrigenous deposits of the Serravallian ? Pleistocene age. These deposits are folded in the western part forming some anticlines and synclines structures placed linearly. Some main characteristics are also treated such as stratigraphy, tectonics, gas bearing, etc., of the gas fields discovered up to now in some of the anticline structures of this Foredeep.
