This workshop focuses on studies carried out on Libyan basins at both outcrop and subsurface scales, aiming to evaluate the future potential of clastic and carbonate reservoirs. Special emphasis is placed on the techniques applied in these studies, as well as the main challenges faced during data collection, interpretation, and integration across different geological settings.
This event is virtual and free to attend.
