  “Hydrogeology and geomorphology at RKF oilfield in Eastern Algeria”. A hydrogeological study was delivered to further understand the shallowest aquifer resources in Eastern Algeria with the aim to support the drilling of supply wells in the surroundings of the RKF oilfield. Also, a geomorphology study was followed to study the location of gypsum outcrops between the dunes to be applied to civil works purposes (camp location, roads, etc.) “Hydrogeology and geomorphology at RKF oilfield in Eastern Algeria”.
