Abstract
The Gulf of Suez region represents one of the most prolific and prospective oil provinces in Egypt. It has a long history of hydrocarbons production. The study area comprises the extreme northern offshore portion of the Gulf of Suez and lies between Latitudes 29 00َ - 30 00 َ N and Longitudes 32 20َ - 33 00 َ E. It covers about 3300 square kilometers.
The main targets of the present study are; (a) Definition of the subsurface geological and structural framework which controlling the hydrocarbon generation and accumulation in the study area, (b) delineation of the structural elements and the thickness variations of the Lower Miocene formations, (c) description of the real causes of dryness of drilled wells in the study area; (d) spot-lighting on the most prospective and promising sites for further hydrocarbon exploration, (e) giving a reasonable picture for shallow and deep seated structures and (f) throwing more light on the tectonic elements. Different techniques of processing and interpretation are carried out on the available geological geophysical data to achieve these aims.
The available data include geological and geophysical information. The geological data consist of seven composite well logs drilled in the area. Meanwhile, the geophysical data include; the Bouguer gravity and total field intensity aeromagnetic maps (scale of 1: 100,000), forty one seismic lines vibrated across the area in both NE-SW and NW-SE directions, four wells velocity survey and one synthetic seismogram.
The stratigraphic sequence of the sedimentary rocks of the area as deduced from the subsurface composite well logs, ranges in age from the Permo-Carboniferous to Recent. This sequence is unconformably overlying the basement rocks, and it is variable in both lithology and thickness from one place to another. Five major unconformities are present within this sedimentary sequence; they are arranged from base to
