The Formation of Hydrocarbon Deposits in the North African Basins : Geological and Geochemical Conditions /

Show other versions (1)

This book reveals the main trends of the formation of petroleum pools in major parts of North African basins. It deals with the regional geology of this important oil- and gas-producing area. Emphasis is laid on paleoenvironmental and provenance reconstructions, trap formation, diagenesis, compactio...
