FIELD TRIP:

Field trip 2015.

The main objectives of this field trip are to do study the stability of Korbous Cliff, to study the main hydro-geological reservoir and to draw a sketch and geological map of the main hydro geological reservoir in The Ressas and M'salla Mountains.

2 days field trip in April 2015.

This field trip is dedicated to the study and Analysis of Fractures in Cap Bon Area (Korbous, Oued El Oussif); where during these 2 days, the impact and effect of fractures in the reservoir quality have been studied.

2 days of Quaternary Geology

The main objectives of these field days are to study the different quaternary formation depositional environment along Tunisia, the history and sediment logical composition.

11 days of 3D seismic survey follow up.

The main objectives of this mission were to QC and check the acquisition results of acquired seismic by CGG in Southern Tunisia.

The operation of QC has been looking after Topography, acquisition parameters and respect of client design parameters. Furthermore, checking the results of Acquired and pre-processed seismic data.

26 days of field training during professional master’s degree. It consist of a multi-disciplinary professional field training entitled" Surface ties to subsurface" where we have applied the classical geological background, physics knowledge and Engineering Skills so as to :

Analyze the major characteristics of the visited outcrops, basins and relating it to the subsurface structuration.

Highlight surface hydrocarbon indicators that can help for the identification of the zones of Petroleum interests.

Use surface data to solve some subsurface interpretation complexities. PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
