Chapter 6 Burial History and Kinetic Modeling for Hydrocarbon Generation 

Three regions in northern Africa were considered (Fig. 6.11) the Takhoukht area of the northern part of the Oued el-Mya Basin where there were contrasting Paleozoic and Mesozoic tectonic and sedimentation histories and Hercynian erosion was at a maximum the Akfadou area of the Ghadames Basin where there was moderate Hercynian uplift and erosion and the Mereksen structure of the Illizi Basin where there was Hercynian erosion.
