What is Diagenetic history vs. thermal evolution of Paleozoic and Triassic reservoir rocks in the Ghadames-Illizi Basin (Algeria-Tunisia-Libya) about?
Unravelling the time-space distribution of diagenetic events modifying the pore network of reservoir rocks is fundamental for hydrocarbon research, but it needs to constraint a number of variables driving that distribution along the geological history of sedimentary basins. Here, we present the results of an integrated study performed on Paleozoic and Triassic reservoir sandstones coming from the Ghadames-Illizi Basin (North Africa), where it is still debated the possible thermal effect on the petroleum system of the Cenozoic magmatic activity occurred in neighbouring regions of the studied basin. The study aims to contribute in solving that problem by combining: the reconstruction of the relative timing of diagenetic events obtained by petrography; the detection of precipitation temperature of cements from microthermometric analyses of fluid inclusions; the collection of thermal constraints from low-T thermochronology (Fission tracks and (U-Th)/He analyses) on detrital apatite grains; the maturity profile of organic matter obtained through vitrinite reflectance and spore analyses. This integrated approach was applied to samples coming from a basin region where Hercynian erosion wa
