Abstract
The Gulf of Suez area is one of the most favorable regions in Egypt for geothermal exploitation since it hosts an evident cluster of superficial thermal springs. Some of these thermal springs include Hammam Musa, Hammam Faraun, Sudr, Ayn Musa and Ain Sokhna, which are characterized by high temperatures ranging between 35 ºC to 86.66 ºC. This feature makes the Gulf of Suez locality suitable for geothermal power production. Corrected bottom hole temperature (BHT) data from 9 oil wells situated onshore in Al Amir area were used for the present research. The results indicate that the study area has a geothermal gradient ranging from 24.9 to 86.66 ºC/km, heat flow in the study area ranges from 55 to 90 mw/m². The derived geothermal and geological layers were used together with the well logging to map relevant physiographic variables including surface elevation, nighttime land surface temperature and major lithological units. The geothermal potential map (GPM) for (AL AMIR area in Gulf of Suez region). The study identifies the southwestern areas of the study area as a site for high geothermal potential. The results of this study demonstrate that integration of well logging with the adopted geospatial techniques is a practical method for geothermal prospecting in similarly geologic and tectonic setting in Egypt and East Africa.
