31 Dec 2022
  • Source : Marine and Petroleum Geology
  • Area :Murzuq

Description:

Description: focuses on the geological structure and sedimentary features of the Hawaz Formation, a key oil reservoir in the Murzuq Basin. It analyzes the depositional environment during the Middle Ordovician period, emphasizing how past geological processes shaped the current subsurface reservoir architecture. The study is based on data from 35 wells and explores how regional and local geological features influenced sedimentation patterns.

Key Points and Importance for Murzuq Development:

  • The Hawaz Formation holds significant hydrocarbon potential, making this research critical for effective resource management in the Murzuq Basin.
  • Understanding sedimentary processes and reservoir distribution aids in optimizing hydrocarbon extraction and exploration.
  • The findings support better strategic planning for resource exploitation and contribute to knowledge about the geological evolution of southern Libya
