The Mura-Zala sedimentary Basin is a Neogene basin with many competing geopotentials, spanning parts of Slovenia, Austria, Croatia and Hungary. Here we present the 3D regional geological model of the Slovenian part of the Mura-Zala Basin, which was developed to integrate the latest information on the geological structure of NE Slovenia and to publish the model in an open-access mode for easier and faster assessment of geopotentials. This was achieved through the harmonisation of the legacy geological models, the reinterpretation of 145 borehole logs, the construction of the 3D numerical geological model in JewelSuite TM , and delivering it into a 3D-Explorer environment. The model comprises nine lithostratigraphical units. The Pre-Neogene basement rocks are covered by the Haloze Formation; the Špilje Formation -Badenian and Sarmatian; the Lendava Formation -turbidites and slope; the Mura Formation -delta front and delta plain; and the alluvial Ptuj-Grad Formation. The model has two principal shortcomings, related to currently unavailable seismic reflection data faults were not implemented, and the Quaternary formations were not delimited. The model is useful for regional-scale studies and may reduce geological risks related to exploration in NE Slovenia. It will also support a better assessment of geopotentials and a more feasible approach to their development, and, eventually, will enable the harmonized management of our subsurface in 3D space. This can be achieved using the 3D-Explorer platform which enables the creation of arbitrary vertical cross-sections, horizontal slices and virtual boreholes.
Izvle~ekMursko-zalski sedimentacijski bazen je neogenski bazen s številnimi konkurenčnimi geopotenciali, ki se razširja v Sloveniji, Avstriji, Hrvaški in na Madžarskem. V članku predstavljamo 3D regionalni geološki model slovenskega dela Mursko-zalskega bazena. Razvit je za prikaz najnovejših informacij o geološki zgradbi SV Slovenije in objavo v prosto dostopni obliki, ki omogoča lažjo in hitrejšo oceno geopotencialov. To smo dosegli z uskladitvijo predhodnih geoloških modelov, reinterpretacijo 145 geofizikalnih popisov globokih vrtin, izdelavo 3D matematičnega modela s programom JewelSuite TM in njegovo implementacijo v orodju 3D-Explorer. Model prikazuje devet litostratigrafskih enot. Pred-neogenske kamnine v podlagi bazena so prekrite s Haloško formacijo, Špiljsko formacijo -sarmatij in badenij, Lendavsko formacijo -pobočje in turbiditi, Mursko formacijo -deltno čelo in ravnica ter aluvialno Ptujsko-grajsko formacijo. Model ima dve poglavitni slabosti, kot posledica nedostopnosti seizmičnih podatkov vanj niso vključeni prelomi in sedimenti kvartarne starosti niso razmejeni. Model je primeren za regionalne študije in zato lahko zniža geološko tveganje pri raziskavah v SV Sloveniji. S tem, ko podpira boljšo oceno geopotencialov in primernejši pristop k njihovem razvoju, bo sčasoma omogočil usklajeno upravljanje našega podpovršja v tridimenzionalnem prostoru. Raba 3D-Explorerja omogoča izdelavo poljubnih na...
