577: 4844: 874: 548: 4764:. Natural gas appears in rocks deposited in the Miocene and Pliocene by the paleo-Dnieper and paleo-Dniester rivers, or in deep-water Oligocene-age rocks. Serious exploration began in 1999 with two deep-water wells, Limanköy-1 and Limanköy-2, drilled in Turkish waters. Next, the HPX (Hopa)-1 deepwater well targeted late Miocene sandstone units in Achara-Trialet fold belt (also known as the Gurian fold belt) along the Georgia-Turkey maritime border. Although geologists inferred that these rocks might have hydrocarbons that migrated from the Maykop Suite, the well was unsuccessful. No more drilling happened for five years after the HPX-1 well. In 2010, Sinop-1 targeted carbonate reservoirs potentially charged from the nearby Maykop Suite on the Andrusov Ridge, but the well-struck only Cretaceous volcanic rocks. Yassihöyük-1 encountered similar problems. 532: 3458: 185: 562: 3950: 4631: 862: 854: 3790: 3713: 4087: 5160: 4620: 1144: 3727: 2868: 2414: 11500: 2458: 1956: 418: 2180: 3747: 2699: 2608: 3699: 500: 3673: 3659: 2219: 4879: 5090: 3776: 3645: 5825: 3178: 2323: 3821: 2554: 3685: 5801: 4984: 11059: 12138: 2297: 11439: 11047: 5125: 11513: 5168: 4922: 2401: 2193: 1893: 335: 4949: 2388: 11578: 5016: 4852: 2440: 2310: 2271: 2206: 2167: 1851: 400: 11539: 11526: 5203: 4957: 2349: 2232: 2154: 2141: 1935: 1914: 361: 348: 4523: 11565: 5238: 5098: 4887: 2427: 2375: 1830: 387: 2258: 173: 3836: 4245: 5195: 5935: 4098: 2245: 8775:

Inflow and outflow current speeds are averaged around 0.3 to 0.4 m/s (1.0 to 1.3 ft/s), but much higher speeds are found locally, inducing significant turbulence and vertical shear. This allows for turbulent mixing of the two layers. Surface water leaves the Black Sea with a salinity of 17 2568:, the climatic mechanisms resulting from the interaction between the north Atlantic and mid-latitude air masses. While the exact mechanisms causing the North Atlantic Oscillation remain unclear, it is thought the climate conditions established in western Europe mediate the heat and precipitation fluxes reaching Central Europe and Eurasia, regulating the formation of winter 4745:
However, this varies geographically. For example, prospects are poorer off the coast of Bulgaria because of the large influx of sediment from the Danube which obscured sunlight and diluted organic-rich sediments. Many of the discoveries to date have taken place offshore of Romania in the Western Black Sea and only a few discoveries have been made in the Eastern Black Sea.
