Numerous biogenic methane gas seepages in Arkalochori region of Central Crete were the motivationto explore the gas potential of the area. According to recent studies, the gases seem to beof biogenic rather than thermogenic origin. To quantify the size of the potential reservoir, theconstruction of a 3D model concerning the shallow Neogene sediments of the area became essential.The available data needed for the construction was scarce, so in order to enrich our datapseudo-boreholes were introduced. The resulting lithostratigraphic model honors the main structuralcharacteristics and the spatial distribution of Neogene deposits, specifically those that belongto Tefelion Group. A 3D lithostratigraphic model in combination with sedimentologicalobservations could assist in delineating possible locations of gas accumulation so that they couldbe examined thoroughly in the future
