Project's information

Project's title Investigations of the block-layered geoelectric structure of the lithosphere in the northern part of the Bac Bo Bay to justify the directions of oil and gas prospecting
Project’s code QTRU02.01/19-20
Research hosting institution Institute of Marine Geology and Geophysics
Coordinating unit, co-chair V.I.Il’ichev Pacific Oceanological Institute Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences (POI FEB RAS)
Project leader’s name Dr. Do Huy Cuong
Project duration 01/01/2019 - 31/12/2020
Project’s budget 200 million VND
Classify Excellent
Goal and objectives of the project

- Determining the Earth’s crust structure and characteristic of the deep faults that has capable of penetrating the earth’s crust on Red River and adjacent area by telluric method together other geophysics docucment
- Proposals and orientations for the assessment of promising biomineral zones of oil, gas and related minerals on the North of Bac Bo bay (Vietnam).
Main results

- Performed 2-time for telluric survey and measure: First time is measured at Lao Cai - Lai Chau area (2018, measurement is performed premature dute to POI FEB RAS’s demand). Second time is measured at Thanh Hoa - Nghe An area (năm 2019). Currently, this measure data set is saved at  POI FEB RAS.
- Published: a paper on Russian Geology and Geophysics journal, a paper on  Iraqi Geological Journal, a paper on Vietnam Journal of Marine Science and Technology.
- Vietnam side processed and completed reports.
- Supporting data for a thesis.
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results

- New data set of telluric on research area (is storaged and processed by POI FEB-RAS)
- Established a Map of the Earth’s Crust structure on research area
- Increasing cooperation on geology and geophysics research between POI FEB-RAS and IMGG-VAST
