  A Regional North-South Cross Section through the Ghadames Basin and its Implications to HC Potential in the Ghadames Basin and the Northern Areas around Jabal Nafusah
  Author(s): Saleh Emhanna*
  
  The Ghadames Basin is a highly productive petroleum province with a long exploration history in Algeria, Libya and Tunisia (from the late 1950’s to present day). Ongoing exploration success in all three countries suggests that it will continue to provide attractive exploration targets in the future. A Regional N-S cross section through the Ghadames basin has been constructed to document and improve understanding of the geologic framework and petroleum systems of the Ghadames basin. It extends from the Mediterranean Sea in the north through the Jifarah Basin, Jabal Nafusah, Ghadames Basin and Alatshan high to northern part of the Murzuq basin in the south, covers approximately 700 kilometers and provides a regional view of the structural and stratigraphic framework of the Ghadames basin. The information shown on the cross section is based on well logs data from thirty f.. View More»
