This study aimed to investigate the structural configuration of the reservoir in Concession 82, located in the Sirte Basin, Libya, with a particular emphasis on identifying faults and associated fractures that contributed to water invasion during drilling operations in one of the wells within the study area. The methodology involved the application of the ant tracking seismic attribute to extract lineaments indicative of fault structures. Several faults and fractures were successfully identified and delineated in the vicinity of the non-productive well. A statistical analysis of the extracted faults was conducted to assess variations in fault trends and density across the study area. The findings revealed that the non-productive well was drilled directly along a fault plane, which facilitated water invasion. The inability to detect this fault prior to drilling was attributed to the poor quality of the original seismic data. Further analysis demonstrated that the study area is characterized by a complex fault system exhibiting a range of orientations, magnitudes, and depths. This finding is consistent with and supports several previous studies on the tectonic and structural evolution of the Sirte Basin. Understanding these fault characteristics is crucial for mitigating drilling risks such as water invasion. Notably, the failure of the non-productive well is directly linked to the presence of the identified fault. Despite this issue, the structural configuration of the area suggests a strong potential for hydrocarbon accumulation.
