Transition Cap Bon-Golfe de Hammamet

The book "Transition Cap Bon-Golfe de Hammamet" by Ilahi Safa offers a comprehensive analysis of the lithostratigraphic correlations and sedimentary sequences in Cap Bon and the northern Gulf of Hammamet. It highlights the significant lateral variations in the thickness of Paleocene and Oligocene sediments, which decrease westward and eventually disappear on land. The study identifies common erosion gaps and non-depositions in the Miocene sequences, with the Fortuna Formation of the Oligocene appearing in the transition zone between onshore and offshore. Additionally, the geological structure of the area, characterized by folds, horsts, graben structures, and tilted blocks, is influenced by polyphase tectonic activities during the Cretaceous, Miocene, and Plio-Quaternary periods. The analysis of isobath maps allows for the identification of onshore and offshore potentials, characterized by a complex system of fractures and their interconnectivity between pores and fractures in the reservoirs.
