Tectonosedimentary framework of Upper Cretaceous –Neogene series in the Gulf of Tunis inferred from subsurface data: implications for petroleum exploration

What is it about?

The objective and the main contribution of this issue are dedicated to using subsurface data to delineate a basin beneath the Gulf of Tunis and its neighboring areas, and to investigating the potential of this area in terms of hydrocarbon resources.

Why is it important?

Tectonic activity related to the geodynamic evolution of the northern African margin appears to have been responsible for several thickness and facies variations, and to have played significant role in the establishment and evolution of petroleum systems in northeastern Tunisia. Offshore and onshore wells and seismic data are used to bring out new precisions on the tectonosedimentary evolution and basin configuration of the Gulf of Tunis with emphasizes of its hydrocarbon potential.
