Kohat-Potwar Oil and Gas Exploration and Production The first oil well drilled in present-day Pakistan was at Kundal on the Potwar Plateau in 1866. The first commercial oil discovery was made in the Greater Indus Basin in 1914 when the Attock Oil Company completed a 214 ft well on a thrust-faulted anticline near Khaur on the Potwar Plateau (Khan and others‚ 1986).

This study utilizes thirty-four intersecting‚ multi-channel regional 2D seismic lines from the Offshore Sirte Basin‚ Libya‚ to assess the structure and stratigraphy from the Miocene to the Quaternary. The structural regime has been reviewed in relation to regional tectonic events in the Western Mediterranean. The structural style of the study area is characterized by normal faults with a variation in throw direction and fault-related folds. The major structural trend is NW-SE trending‚ with some
