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 Normally the study and investigated of earth material from the view of their uses as embankment and backfill material has a great importance in earth woks. This research concerns the assessment of earth masses and their properties which related embankment and backfill suitability as well as providing a mixing methods to upgrade the unsuitable within the accepted standards. The objectives of this research could be briefed by the investigation of earth masses along the study area which is governed by the distribution of superficial deposits comprehensive laboratory testing of soil samples molding Andes properties classification testing proctor and California bearing ratio recognition of suit able and non suit able backfill soil enhancement of unsuitable soil by mixing with other suitable soil such as quarry dust provided by nearby quarry correlation analysis and economic feasibility the study area is located in east of Tripoli from Tajoura to Misurata . This study manly concluded that as long as the poorly graded soil (A3) is difficult to be compacted according to the engineering properties of such soil are enhanced certainly by mixing with good sailable materials such as quarry dust. This research also conduced that the compaction properties will be enhanced by mixing where the optimum moister content is needed at the increase of maximum dry density. This research provides procedure of mixing design and recommendations for the mixing to achieve better results.

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.
