Abstract
A study of the geological history and hydrocarbon prospectivity of Concession 9 and its surrounding area in northwest Libya (fig 1), has been undertaken, based on the interpretation of about 1000 km of seismic reflection data and information from 15 wells. One third of the seismic coverage is onland and ties to a well to the south of the Concession. The remaining coverage is offshore and ties to two wells to the north of the Concession. The study area is situated in the northern part of the onshore Jeffara Basin and extends northward across the Libyan continental shelf into the southern flank of the offshore Gabes-Tripoli-Misurata Basin.
