The problem of correlating Lake Pannon sediments across its basin has been the occupation of many geologists. At first, it was hampered by the prevalence of biostratigraphic, rather than lithostratigraphic correlation. The task became accomplishable when, thanks to seismic survey data, the strongly progradational character of Lake Pannon sedimentation had been understood. Thus, this paper aims to describe the formations from all parts of Lake Pannon and compare them to the ones described in Serbia. Material used includes published and unpublished data from all countries w ith Pannonian Basin System upper Miocene and lower Pliocene deposits, in the form of seismic, borehole and outcrop data. Even though the system is strongly asymmetric, both spatially and temporally, the formation synthesis framework should help better understanding among geologists operating w ithin the basin. For the first t ime the informal formations are proposed for all Lake Pannon sediments in Serbia. The formations are linked to a progradational deltaic system w ithin the following succession: basinal plain-turbidite-slope-delta front-delta plain-lacustrine and alluvial environments. The lithostratigraphic correlation has a huge potential in the context of industry. The main potential surely lies in petroleum geology, but it could be also very useful for exploration of geothermal energy, hydrogeology and construction materials.

A new stratigraphic standard for the open lacustrine to deltaic Pannonian Stage is emerging from the combined sedimentological, lithostratigraphical, sequence stratigraphical, biostratigraphical, seismic stratigraphical, geochronological, and magnetostratigraphical investigations of 6 long drill cores. These were drilled by Paks II Nuclear Power Plant Plc. as a preparatory step for the construction of a new power plant near the city of Paks, Central Pannonian Basin, between 2015 and 2016. The boreholes are in a distance of 8-12 km from each other, and five of them fully penetrated the local Pannonian sequence in a thickness of 390 to 662 m. Each core includes offshore clay marl deposited far from sediment entry points (Endrőd Fm), heterolithic, sandy siltstones of a <200 m high shelf-margin slope (Algyő Fm), and several stacked deltaic deposits from prodelta silts to sandy mouth bars, heterolithics, lignite and sandy channel-fills of the delta plain (Újfalu Fm). Magnetostratigraphic investigations from two cores and authigenic 10Be/9Be dating from two others were combined by means of seismic correlation between the boreholes, and thus they provide a solid geochronological and chronostratigraphic basis for the interpretation of the sedimentologial and paleontological records of the cores. The continuous representation of the earliest Pannonian (11.6–9.1 Ma) in the cores needs further investigation, as neither magnetostratigraphy nor authigenic 10Be/9Be dating gave reliable age data from the basal, condensed calcareous marls. The 9.1 to 6.5 Ma interval, however, is represented in the cores by various lithologies and abundant and sometimes excellently preserved fossils. In the deltaic succession, 8 sedimentary sequences were correlated between the cores; as their duration is not more than 400 kyr each, they can be regarded as 4th-order sequences. The paleontological record of the cores shows a very good agreement with the formerly established biochronostratigraphical system. The cores provide an insight into the evolution of the sedimentary environment and the biota of Lake Pannon between 9.1 and 6.5 Ma with a so far unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution.

The study presented in this paper assessed the multidisciplinary approach of geothermal potential in the area of the most southeastern part of the Pannonian basin, focused on resources utilization. This study aims to present a method for the cascade use of geothermal energy as a source of thermal energy for space heating and cooling and as a resource for balneological purposes. Two particular sites were selected—one in a natural environment; the other within a small settlement. Geothermal resources come from different types of reservoirs having different temperatures and chemical compositions. At the first site, a geothermal spring with a temperature of 20.5 °C is considered for heat pump utilization, while at the second site, a geothermal well with a temperature of 54 °C is suitable for direct use. The calculated thermal power, which can be obtained from geothermal energy is in the range of 300 to 950 kW. The development concept was proposed with an architectural design to enable sustainable energy efficient development of wellness and spa/medical facilities that can be supported by local authorities. The resulting energy heating needs for different scenarios were 16–105 kW, which can be met in full by the use of geothermal energy.

The Pannonian Basin is an intraorogenic extensional region floored by a complex system of Alpine orogenic terranes and oceanic suture zones. Its formation dates back to the beginning of the Miocene, and initial fluvial-lacustrine deposits pass into shallow to open marine strata, including a large amount of calc-alkaline volcanic materials erupted during the culmination of the synrift phase. The onset of the postrift phase occurred during the Late Miocene, when the basin became isolated and a large Pannonian lake developed. Early lacustrine marls are overlain by turbiditic sandstones and silts related to a progradational shelf slope and a delta plain sequence passing upward into alluvial plain deposits and eolian sands. A remarkable nonconformity at the top of lacustrine strata associated with a significant (4–7 my) time gap at large parts of the basin documents a neotectonic phase of activity, manifested by regional strike-slip faulting and kilometer-scale differential vertical movements, with erosion and redeposition. Subsidence and burial history modeling indicate that Middle and Late Miocene, fairly organic-rich marine and lacustrine (respectively) shales entered into the oil-generation window at about the beginning of the Pliocene in depocenters deeper than 2.5–3 km, and even reached the wet to dry gas-generation zone at depths exceeding 4–4.5 km. Migration out of these kitchens has been going on since the latest Miocene toward basement highs, where anticlines and flower structures offered adequate trapping conditions for hydrocarbons. We argue that compaction of thick sedimentary piles, in addition to neotectonic structures, has also been important in trap formation within the Pannonian Basin.

Lacustrine Facies

This study decipher facies characteristic of Sunakothi Formation at southern part of Kathmandu Basin. Thick sandy and muddy sequence is found on an open lacustrine facies of the Kalimati Formation. Five facies associations have been recognized within the sandy and muddy facies. These are: (a) muddy rhythmites and silt and laminated to ripple sand bed of the prodeltaic origin (pd), (b) association of cross-stratification, rippledrift and parallel lamination in the lacustrine delta front origin (df), (c) muddy flood-plain and alteration of the fine and coarse sediments of delta-plain origin (dp), (d) sandy to silty rhythmites of the marginal shallow lacustrine origin above the delta-plain (ml), and (e) association of fluvial origin (fl ). Former three associations are interbeded by the thick gravel deposits, which is gravelly braided river origin. Transition from lacustrine to alluvial system is characterized by fluvial and deltaic system in the south. Sedimentology of the Sunakothi Formation indicates deposition during rapid lake level rise and also the thick channelized fluvial gravel beds within the sandy and muddy sequence indicate lake level fall. The cause could be climatic as well as activity of the basin margin tectonics. Sunakothi Formation is the southern counterpart of the Thimi-Gokarna Formations distributed in the northern part of the basin.
