The current study is conducted to investigate the upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Sirte shale Formation to better understand the regional abundance of the organofacies, thermal maturation levels, and the petroleum generation and expulsion histories during the geological time in one of the most important petroliferous basins in North Africa (Sirt Basin). Rock-Eval pyrolysis analysis of 988 samples in 56 wells that penetrated the Cretaceous section in the Sirt Basin was used to screen and study the geological and geochemical characteristics of the Sirte shale Formation. Multi-dimensional basin modeling, including 1D burial histories and 2D modeling approaches, was calibrated with %VRo and pyrolysis Tmax data to establish refined regional maturity of the Sirte shale Formation. By using the Rock-Eval data, the type, occurrence, and distribution of organofacies in time and space were investigated using analytical assessment procedures and present-day mapping, such as total organic carbon (% TOCp), hydrogen index (HIp), and kerogen transformation ratio (TRp) to define the lateral and vertical special variation. Key biological marker (biomarkers) data is used to determine their special types, abundance, and host sedimentary environments. We used integrated geochemistry with basin modeling to define the Sirte shale petroleum generation and expulsion history, petroleum phase-type and quantity, and expulsion efficiency. Results indicate that the current maturation levels in the general range of 0.4–1.35 %VRo (equivalent to 405 ◦C–460 ◦C pyrolysis Tmax) that found to allow Sirte shale Formation to enter transformation levels ranging from 20% to 91%, which is equivalent to 1,615 m–3,627 m burial depth. Sirte shale Formation is dominated by two types of organofacies (B and D/E), which are characterized by %TOC up to 5% and hydrogen index from 400 to 700 mg HC/g TOC with sudden lateral and vertical variation due to the influence of the marine and transitional – terrestrial sedimentary environments. Similar indications from the biomarker data were Pr/Py ratio shows a significant existence of anoxic and dysoxic environments (generally, 0.4–2.4). Alga marine (dominant), mixed, and minor terrestrial organic matter was defined to dominate the Sirte shale Formation as indicated by Pr/nc-17 and Py-nc18 data. The petroleum generation history of the Sirte shale Formation occurred in the Oligocene time (~30 Ma). The higher expulsion efficiency for the oil phase, up to 84% detected in the deeper parts of the basin, and lower gas expulsion efficiency with its maximum up to 63%. During the geological time, two primary petroleum phases were generated and expelled (oil and gas) from the Sirte shale. The bulk fluid properties generated from Sirte Shale Formation indicate that range of GOR from 400 to 2000 scf/bbl and API in the range of 30–60.

Abstract

Abu-Shaybah Formation is located on the coastal of the Meditrranean sea South of Ghanimah North West of Libya, between Tripoli and Al Khumes, about 100 km East of Tripoli. It lies on the eastern end of Jabel Nafusa flank. Abu Shaybah Formation Ghanimah area of Late Triasic age, consists of sandstone. The sedimentary structure in the lower most part from studied outcrops reflect NW paleocurrent direction indicating that Jabel Nafusa uplift poorly effect the study area. The upper part of studied succession changing in pallaeocurrent dirction to NE due to Jabel Nafusa uplifting. The extreme changing of paleocurrent direction and paleoslope direction to East due to continuous increase in Jabel Nafusa uplift, direction of vertical joints in Wadi Qirrim presented from NW to SE dirction. The rocks of Abu Shaybah Formation analyzed using differnt kinds of technique, Polrized Microscpe, XRF, SEM techniques. The study of sedimentary texture (grain size, roundness, sorting, and sphiricity) and sedimentary structures showed that Abu Shaybah Formation outcrops deposited in response to two fining upword cycles, formed mainly in Braided Stream Rivers with some effects of meandering. The sequences of Abu Shaybah Formation outcrops that exposed in Wadi Qirrim have been identified on many types of sedimentary facies associated with given sedimentary stucture as, Planar cross bedding, Convolute bedding, Trouph cross bedding, Ripple bedding, Shrinkage cracks, Plant rootlets, Concretions, Unconformity, Channels, Massive bedding, Laminated bedding, and the results which located on the grain size of quartz also loacted on the grain size of heavy minerals like tormaline, zircon and reutile.

Abstract

Measurements of in-situ data for geomechanical parameters are very essential part of geotechnical engineering design, but the time and the budgets are major issues, The design engineer must make critical decisions at several steps throughout the design stages to obtain the most reliable and realistic soil and rock property information. Because of that, the empirical equations are increased in use during the early stages of engineering design work. In any geotechnical investigations, most probably, will be involved in using Standard Penetration Test (SPT). It is a very popular test among geotechnical engineers. Therefore, it will be economically very useful if the results of SPT as N-values could be used to calculate the other geomechanical parameters. The sites of investigation are the Zawia Combined Cycle Power Plant, West Mountain Power Plant at Rowies, Tripoli and Tunisa. The data were collected from 13 boreholes, and more than 160 points. Which gave wide reliable results. Field investigations include Cross-Hole, Down-Hole seismic techniques, Standard Penetration Test SPT, Cone Penetration Test CPT and pressuremeter test PMT. The variation of seismic waves velocity (Vs & Vp) and dynamic modulus (shear modulus, young modulus, and bulk modulus) of sand and weak rock were studied and some correlations were developed. Also the effects of depth on the correlations were investigated. The correlations compared with previous relationships. The results showed that the power function provides the best fit for correlation between seismic wave’s velocity and dynamic modulus data with SPT N-value. The correlation coefficient (r) range 0.77-0.54 for sand and for weak rock. Range is 0.82-0.58. The multiple power regression analysis enhanced the correlation coefficient of sand and weak rock to ranges 0.82-0.58 and 0.97-0.92 respectively. These results are higher than the previous results. A single value of geotechnical parameters is very difficult to determine because the properties of material vary from point to point in the way that, it depends on a set of conditions so geotechnical parameters (seismic waves velocity and dynamic modulus) were determined between an upper and lower limits. The results of statistical analysis of relationship between SPT N-value and Cone Penetration Test (tip resistance qc) for all available data show that a linear regression with zero intercept as best fit correlation. of r=0.77. This result is equivalent to previous work. The logarithmic regression gave the best fit for the correlation analysis between the pressuremeter modulus EPMT and N value by r=0.81. The relationship between the limit pressure PL and N value was shown that, the linear regression was the best fit. The best-fit regression indicated a logarithmic relationship between the pressuremeter modulus (EPMT) and limit pressure (PL), with r=0.81 and 0.66 respectively.

Abstract

The Nubian Sandstone Formation is a significant hydrocarbon reservoir in the Concession 59D, Eastern Sirt Basin, Libya. This formation is underlain uncomfortably by granitic basement and/or by the Hercynian unconformity and overlain uncomfortably by Pre-Upper Cretaceous followed by an Early Upper Cretaceous Transition beds. The Nubian formation is a thick sequence comprises mainly of sandstone, siltstone and shale.The Nubian Formation in this area has been subdivided into three stratigraphic members; namely Lower Sandstone, Middle Shale and Upper Sandstone (main reservoir well be focus of this study).The Upper Sandstone is the upper most subdivision of the Nubian Sandstone sequence consists mainly of white, grey to brown sandstones, ranging from fine to medium, locally coarse grained, moderately cemented with straight to concavo convex or slightly sutured grain contacts. This reservoir is a complex of fluvial sands deposited in Braided and Meandering streams.The reservoir fluids are very rich retrograde condensate gas and waxy oil with pressure at slightly above the saturation pressure. Most of this hydrocarbon in this reservoir has been sourced from the Nubian Middle Shale Member, but the Upper Cretaceous shale and Evaporates belonging to the Transition beds sequence have a significant potential source. The trapping mechanism in the field is a combined structural and stratigraphic trap for the Nubian Sandstone with the southern closure against the tight Nubian facies and basement of the Gialo High. Reservoir properties across the North Gialo Study Area vary in terms of porosity, permeability fluid saturation. These variations are indicated through the porosity, permeability and saturation maps and charts based on well log analysis and lab core sample measurements. These properties are discussed in the reservoir characterization part of this thesis.
