Whilst we twiddle our thumbs and wait for the flow results this is a great article on the geology of oil/gas bearing rocks.
"Reservoir Rocks
Known reservoir rocks include: (1) Middle to Upper Jurassic Nara Formation dolomite or dolomitic limestone and M'Rabtine sandstone; (2) Lower Cretaceous Meloussi and Sidi Aïch sandstone and Orbata and Serdj carbonates; and (3) Upper Cretaceous Zebbag, Isis, and Bireno, Douleb, and Miskar carbonates and Abiod fractured chalk (table 2, ?g. 6). Figure 12 shows the distribution of Zebbag Formation reservoirs, as well as locations of ?elds having reported oil and gas volumes from reservoirs within the Jurassic-Cretaceous Composite Total Petroleum System.
Most of the discovered oil volumes in this total petroleum
system, as of 1996, appears to be in Lower Cretaceous Bireno
(approximately 38 MMBO) and Jurassic (approximately 34
MMBO) reservoirs, whereas most of the discovered gas appears
to be in Upper Cretaceous Abiod fractured reservoirs (approximately 1,000 BCFG)."
