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 The sandstone of Upper Ordovician Mamuminyat Formation represents part of stratigraphic column in Murzuq Basin, south west Libya. It is the primary reservoir target in the basin, soursed and caped by Lower Silurian Tanezzuft Shale (Sola, 2000). The Mammuniyat reservoir in Murzuq Basin is characterized by lateral and vertical variation of petrophysical properties duo to lateral change of depositional environment and the digenetic effect on the formation load various facies deposition quality. The Concession NC174 is discovered in 1997 by Lasmo Grand Maghreb Limited then On the 26th October 2003 the development drilling campaign started by MOG till thepresent time. The El feel field is the major discovery in NC174. Porosity range is 16-18% and permeability some hundreds millidarcys. The Net thickness/Gross thickness ratio varies from 20% to 95% with an average value of 70%. The sedimentary fill in the Murzuq basin is mainly Paleozoic to Mesozoic in age and reaches a thickness of about 4000 meters in the depocenter. The sedimentary sequence is punctuated by several regional unconformities corresponding to successive tectonic activity phases. In the area of NC174, the tectonic phases developed anticlines and fault bounded anticlines generally super-imposed and re-actived through time. The resulting structural style is characterized mainly by poli-history sub-vertical reverse faults with different directions (N-S, NNW-SSE and NNE-SSW), these faults bound most of the prospects apparently superimposed on subtle anticlines oriented SSWNNE along which the culminations are aligne.

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.
