Abstract
Esh El Mellaha area is located at the western margin of the Gulf of Suez rift system. It is one of the most important potential hydrocarbon resources in the north Eastern Desert. Satellite images, field observations and seismic data were used to delineate the surface and subsurface structural elements of the area west of Esh El Mellaha range. The study reveals that, the main structural trends have the directions NW-SE, NE-SW to NNW-SSE, WNW-ESE and ENE-WSW. The NW-SE trending faults are the major dominating trend which is related to the Gulf of Suez rift opening. The seismic data is used to define the major subsurface structural trends dominated the study area. The 3D interpretation of the seismic led to the identification of four continuous prominent reflectors and five seismic sequences. The identified seismic reflectors were named; reflectors Q, F, R and K and ranging in age from the lower Miocene to the middle upper Miocene. The seismic criteria and configuration patterns have been defined and described. Surface study and analysis of satellite images were used to compile the structural maps of the study area. Structural trends are then confirmed through the analysis of azimuth trend frequency Rose diagrams for surface field measurements and subsurface detected elements.
