Book excerpt: Petroleum Geology of Libya, Second Edition, systematically reviews the exploration history, plate tectonics, structural evolution, stratigraphy, geochemistry and petroleum systems of Libya, and includes valuable new chapters on oil and gas fields, production, and reserves. Since the previous edition, published in 2002, there have been numerous developments in Libya, including the lifting of sanctions, a new licensing system, with licensing rounds in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, many new exploratory wells, discoveries and field developments, and a change of regime. A large amount of new data has been published on the geology of Libya in the past fourteen years, but it is widely scattered through the literature. Much of the older data has been superseded, and several of the key publications, especially those published in Libya, are difficult to access. This second edition provides an updated source of reference which incorporates much new information, particularly on petroleum systems, reserves, oil and gas fields, play fairways, and remaining potential. It presents the results of recent research and a detailed description of Libyan offshore geology. The book includes an extensive and comprehensive bibliography. Presents over 180 full colour illustrations including maps, diagrams and charts, illustrating the key concepts in a clear and concise manner Authored by two recognized world authorities on geology in Libya, with over 40 years’ experience in Libya between them Provides an expanded and updated version of the bestselling previous edition, nicknamed the Explorationist’s Bible Lays the foundation for the post-revolution exploration age in Libya
Download or read book Petroleum Geology of Libya written by Don Hallett and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-02-26 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libya has the largest petroleum reserves of any country in Africa and since production began in 1961 over 20 billion barrels of oil have been produced. Libya is scheduled to reach the mid-point of depletion of reserves in 2001 and this provides a timely point at which to review the state of petroleum exploration in Libya. A large amount of data has been published on the geology of Libya, but it is scattered through the literature; much of the older data has been superceded, and several of the key publications, especially those published in Libya, are difficult to find. This book represents the first attempt to produce a comprehensive synthesis of the petroleum geology of Libya. It is based exclusively on published data, supplemented by the author's experience gained during ten years work in Libya. The aim of the book is to systematically review the plate tectonics, structural evolution, stratigraphy, geochemistry, and petroleum systems of Libya, and provides valuable new data on fields, production, and reserves. This volume will provide a ready source of reference to individuals and companies who wish to obtain an overview of the petroleum geology of Libya, and will save them the laborious task of sifting through hundreds of publications to find the data they require. The book includes 148 newly drawn figures.

Download or read book Palaeozoic Petroleum Systems of the Murzuq Basin Libya written by Farid Ali Shalbak and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Murzuq Basin is a sedimentary basin located SW Libya which geology remains poorly understood in spite that their proved reserves has been estimated up to 6000 12b and a number of finds have been recently reported. The Murzuq reserves represent about 6.5 % of the Libyan resources and the larger reserves are located in the NC115, NC174 NC186 and NC210 blocks. Production in the basin began in late 1996 when the El Sharara Field comes on stream. El Sharara Field is capable to produce up to 200,000 B/D, and Al Feel Field is capable to produce up to 150,000 B/D. About the 30% of the Libya's current oil production is supplied by the Murzuq Basin. Geologically the Murzuq Basin is an erosional remnant of a much larger Palaeozoic continental margin rimming Gondwana. The present-day flanks of the basin are defined by erosion resulting from multiphase tectonic uplifts; consequently the current basin geometry has not relation to the broad and large peri-Gondwana continental margin which existed in the area during Palaeozoic times. The Murzuq flanks comprise the Tihemboka, Tibesti, Gargaf and Atshan highs. The Murzuq Basin is filled by a thick Palaeozoic sedimentary succession of marine and transitional sediments. In general sedimentation rate during Palaeozoic times was low and their maximum sedimentary infill reaches about 3000 metres in thickness. The sedimentary infill of the basin records several generations of structuring, mainly compressional and transpressional in nature, but the cumulative structural deformation is considered relatively minor. Although fault arrangement displays considerably variations, a N-S trend is dominant. The Palaeozoic sedimentary infill of the Murzuq Basin is divided in fifteen lithostratigraphic units called from older to younger: Hasawnah, Achabiyat, Hawaz, Melaz Suqran, Mamuniyat, Bir Tlacsin, Tanezzuft, Akakus, Tadrart, Wan Kasa, Awainat Wanin, Marar, Assedjefar, Dembaba and Tiguentounine formations. The older Hasawnah Fm records an initial marine transgression during late Cambrian to middle Ordovician times and the younger Tiguentounine Fm records deposition during the late Carboniferous to lowermost Permian times. Generally Permian rocks are missing in the Murzuq Basin because during this period the main phase of Hercynian uplift and erosion took place and most of the Permian strata were removed. A number of major basin-scale unconformities are recognized within the sedimentary infill recording the orogenic history and other major geological processes occurred in the Murzuq Basin which, in turn, controlled deposition. These basin-scale unconformities allow us the stratigraphic subdivision of the Palaeozoic sedimentary record into four second order sequences. The main basin-scale unconformities are the Pan-African, Taconian, Caledonian and Hercynian tectonic phases and the Late Ordovician glaciation. Other unconformities which could be recognized within the sedimentary record are minor or belong to the younger Austrian and Alpine cycles, and consequently, they don't affect the deposition of the Palaeozoic sequences. Two Palaeozoic petroleum systems have been identified within the Murzuq Basin. Both involving the early Silurian Hot Shale source: a) A late Ordovician petroleum system composed of the Hawaz/Mamuniyat sandstones reservoir, the Hot Shale source and the Tanezzuft seal, and b) A middle Devonian petroleum system composed of the BDS sandstones reservoir, the Hot Shale source and intra Devonian shales seal. In the late Ordovician petroleum system oil was expelled from the Hot Shales directly into the underlying Hawaz and Mamuniyat sandstones, which contain all the commercial discoveries in the Murzuq Basin. So, oil migration was short and reservoir recharge laterally. Results of basin modelling suggest timing of petroleum generation and trapping from late Carboniferous to Cretaceous or even early Tertiary. This system is the primary play in all the commercial oil discoveries in the northern and central part of the Murzuq Basin and their resources in the Murzuq Basin are estimated more than 2000 12STB. The Devonian system is a secondary potential petroleum system constituted by the Middle Devonian BDS sandstones reservoir charged indiscriminately by both, Devonian or Silurian organic-rich shales and sealed by intra Devonian shaly intervals. The possible existence of the Devonian system is supported by the discovery of some non commercial oil accumulations and the presence of frequent oil shows in the BDS interval. However, to date commercial finds has been not recorded within the Devonian system and their hydrocarbon potential remains poorly understood.

Book excerpt: Investigations about porosity in petroleum reservoir rocks are discussed by Schmoker and Gautier. Pollastro discusses the uses of clay minerals as exploration tools that help to elucidate basin, source-rock, and reservoir history. The status of fission-track analysis, which is useful for determining the thermal and depositional history of deeply buried sedimentary rocks, is outlined by Naeser. The various ways workers have attempted to determine accurate ancient and present-day subsurface temperatures are summarized with numerous references by Barker. Clayton covers three topics: (1) the role of kinetic modeling in petroleum exploration, (2) biological markers as an indicator of depositional environment of source rocks and composition of crude oils, and (3) geochemistry of sulfur in source rocks and petroleum. Anders and Hite evaluate the current status of evaporite deposits as a source for crude oil.

Download or read book Hubbert s Peak written by Kenneth S. Deffeyes and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-29 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, Kenneth Deffeyes made a grim prediction: world oil production would reach a peak within the next decade--and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. Deffeyes's claim echoed the work of geophysicist M. King Hubbert, who in 1956 predicted that U.S. oil production would reach its highest level in the early 1970s. Though roundly criticized by oil experts and economists, Hubbert's prediction came true in 1970. In this updated edition of Hubbert's Peak, Deffeyes explains the crisis that few now deny we are headed toward. Using geology and economics, he shows how everything from the rising price of groceries to the subprime mortgage crisis has been exacerbated by the shrinking supply--and growing price--of oil. Although there is no easy solution to these problems, Deffeyes argues that the first step is understanding the trouble that we are in.
Download or read book Geological Exploration in Murzuq Basin written by D. Worsley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-12-19 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Murzuq Basin is a large intracratonic sag basin located in southwestern Libya. Exploration efforts started in this vast and remote Saharan region already in 1957 and 60 exploratory wells have been drilled to date, resulting in over 20 discoveries with around 4,000 million barrels of oil in place. Most discoveries have been made in Ordovician sandstone reservoirs sourced by hot shales of the Lower Silurian Tanezzuft Formation. Oil is already being produced and exported from the area, but the basin's total hydrocarbon potential is still poorly understood. Recent exploration - especially the major discovery and initial development of the Giant "Elephant" Field - has greatly increased interest for the area's potential. Many petroleum geologists and companies now believe that the basin may well develop into a new major hydrocarbon province which will significantly contribute to Europe's energy needs in the next decades. This book presents papers from a conference held at Sebha University - on the eastern margins of the Murzug Basin - in September 1998.The book continues an ongoing series of presentations of the geology of Libya, but the 25 contributions herein mostly centre on the Murzuq Basin itself and on nearby areas. There are still many unresolved questions in terms of geological and hydrocarbon exploration in these difficult desert areas, but the papers herein will hopefully present a first comprehensive overview of an exciting frontier exploration region. About half of the papers are directly related to hydrocarbon exploration, and to source rock and reservoir development, but a wide variety of other features are also described, ranging from palaeontology and biostratigraphy to ore geology and water resources, covering the entire geological column from the Precambrian to the Holocene. The book concludes with a bibliography covering all geological aspects of this challenging but very promising frontier area.
