GEOLOGICAL SETTING

Slouguia block lies in Northern to Northwestern Tunisia, and corresponds to a part of the imbrications zone and northern Atlas belt. The tectonic framework is characterized by E-W and nearby NW-SE trending Early and Upper Cretaceous graben systems.

HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL

Reservoirs: The main targets in the block are the Ypresian Bou Dabbous/El Gueria fractured limestones, the Campanian Abiod fractured chalky limestones and turbiditic M'cherga sand-bodies.

Source Rocks: Several source rocks are present in the block, together with numerous oil seeps, as an evidence of an active petroleum systems. The major source rocks are the Ypresian Bou Dabbous organic-rich limestones, the late Cenomanian – Early Turonian Bahloul laminated limestones, the Albian lower Fahdene black shales and The Baremian M’Cherga black limestones.Traps: The trap types in this block are mainly structural including faulted anticlines, roll-over anticlines, footwall and hanging wall traps. Possible stratigraphic traps include Upper Cretaceous buildups and Lower Cretaceous turbiditic sandstones.

Rocks: The trap types in this block are mainly structural including thrusted and faulted anticlines, roll-over anticlines, footwall and hanging wall traps. Possible stratigraphic traps include Lower Cretaceous turbidictic sandstones.
