The Mio-Pliocene Zone in the Ploiești region has been exploited for hydrocarbons and coal since the 19th Century. [23] The zone extends from the flysch on the north to the Moesian Platform on the south. [24] The zone is marked by alternating deposits of Clay, Marl, Shale and Sand, conglomerate, Salt and Limestone. [25]

The deposit, whose onshore occurrence is mainly restricted to the area around Aldeburgh and Orford, [1] [2] is a series of bioclastic calcarenites and silty sands with shell debris, deposited during a short-lived warm period at the start of the Pliocene Epoch of the Neogene Period. [3]
