Abstract
The offshore North Sinai is located at the deeper eastern extension of the Mediterranean Sea. The isopach thickness maps showed that the Jurassic and Cretaceous section have greater thickness in the eastern area. Meanwhile, the Oligocene section is very thick in the western area than the eastern area. This variation in thickness reflects the differential effect of tectonics in the two areas. Source rock evaluation revealed that the Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous source rocks are the most effective source rocks in the eastern area, while westwards the Upper Oligocene source rock is predominant. The constructed 1D basin models referred to main three tectonic events affected the area; Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifting, Late Cretaceous Oligocene uplift, and the Late Miocene subsidence. The oil/source rock correlation showed that Mango-1 oil might be derived from Jurassic source rock equivalent to G. Maghara but in the offshore area. On the other hand, Tineh-1 oil might be derived from Oligocene source rock. Hydrocarbons were produced from both of Tineh-1 and Mango-1 wells but the quantities were not commercial. That proved the presence of working petroleum system. For further petroleum exploration in the area, it is recommended to study properly the overpressuring and the intensity of basin inversion.
