Recently, intensive unconventional hydrocarbon exploration has been taking place in the Pannonian Basin, exploring basin-centered gas accumulation (BCGA) potential of the Makó Trough. The project is of enormous economic potential as well as scientific and technological challenge. Exploration risk is very high, due to extreme high temperature/high pressure conditions.
The investigation focuses on one of the deepest sub-basins in the Pannonian basin, which to date has never been considered for unconventional exploration. Great wealth of new geological and geophysical information have been gathered and integrated with existing data.

Interpretation of these data is in progress, involving several Hungarian and international industrial and academical institutions. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the current status of exploration making use of mainly new 3D seismic data covering >1100 km2.
These data revealed the regional stratigraphic and tectonic features of the trough and provided insights to the details of the basinal and basement structures at an unprecedented resolution and depth. The well and core data revealed complementary information on the present-day stress field, representing the characteristics of the natural fractures and pressure systems in
the trough.

The exploration results obtained so far are of key importance in developing the existing kinematic and dynamic models for the formation and deformation of the Pannonian basin.
