Oil Fields in Algerian Sahara

Abstract

Present status of the oil fields in Algerian Sahara is described for their productions, reservoir conditions and geological structures, etc. And it is discussed that deposition of paleozoic formations in shallow-sea circumstances and the continuous structure-highs in their duration had played an important role for the origin and accumulation of oil. Further, the future prospect of productions and the related political and economical problems are also examined.
