Stratigraphic Nomenclature of the Sirte Basin, Libya
F.T. BARR & A.A. WEEGAR
In 1960, the Stratigraphic Lexicon for Libya was published under the
auspices of the Commission of Stratigraphy of the International Geologic
Congress. It was prepared by the Names and Nomenclature Committee of
the Petroleum Exploration Society of Libya under the chairmanship of P. F.
Burollet. This lexicon was completed during the early years of intensive
petroleum exploration in Libya. Considerable surface geological mapping
had been done by oil company geologists during the 1950's and a number of
exploratory wells had been drilled in northern Cyrenaica, western Libya
and the Sirte Basin. The first post-war wildcat, the Libyan American A1-18,
was spudded in April 1956, on the Jabal al Akhdar, northern Cyrenaica,
and two and a half years later, in the autumn of 1968, the Oasis B1-32 well
discovered Libya's first commercial oil in the Dahra Field in the north-
western Sirte Basin.
