Welcome

Researchers working in a laboratory.

Our Research

The North Africa Research Group (NARG) conducts multi-disciplinary basin analysis research with a petroleum geoscience theme in Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Libya and Tunisia. The research includes projects with integrated sedimentology, geochemistry, seismic interpretation, petrophysics and reservoir engineering. The group involves collaboration between Manchester, Heriot-Watt, Cardiff and Bremen Universities, all of whom have an established record of petroleum geology research, supported by a group of international oil companies with the desire to promote research in this area.

About us

The North Africa Research Group has dedicated facilities including seismic, petrophysical and engineering workstations, software and laboratory expertise to address basin and reservoir research problems. The project will make particular use of GIS systems to allow integration of databases.
