[en] The investigation of unconventional reservoirs is highly significant, as their properties vary based on regional and global depositional contexts. This research focuses on two key unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs in Tunisia—the Silurian Hot Shales and the Eocene Bou Dabbous Formation—utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to examine their depositional environments, geochemical characteristics, and hydrocarbon production potential. The Silurian Hot Shales show high organic carbon content, highlighting strong potential for shale gas and oil, while the Bou Dabbous Formation reveals substantial organic richness and brittleness, making it well-suited for extraction. This study provides valuable insights into global unconventional hydrocarbon exploration and offers guidance for future exploration strategies.
