The main objective of this research is to get a comprehensive view on the subsurface geological data on the Esh El Mellaha area and environs, Red Sea, Egypt. This includes determining the depth and structural characteristics of the basement surface beneath the region, as well as identifying additional gravity and magnetic sources and potential structures within the sedimentary cover. To ... Read more

This study aims to investigate the impact of clays on the quality of the Nubia reservoir in the Saqqara field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt. The research will contribute to a broader knowledge of reservoir characterization, offering valuable insights for similar geological settings in other regions, thereby aiding in the optimization of resource management in global petroleum industries. The shale evaluation ... Read more

This study evaluates the basement depth and identifies contact zones of magnetic source bodies in the Great Sand Sea, Western Desert, Egypt, using aeromagnetic data. A reduced-to-pole (RTP) aeromagnetic map reveals anomalies of varying frequency, trends, and magnitudes linked to diverse subsurface sources. Advanced processing techniques, including fast Fourier transform, distinguish residual from regional components and provide a radially averaged ... Read more

This study employs high-resolution magnetic surveying to prospect buried archaeological features, primarily Ptolemaic tombs, within the archaeological hill at Al Dyabat, near Akhmim City, Sohag, Egypt. Despite its historical importance, the site remains largely uninvestigated, presenting a valuable opportunity for new archaeological discoveries. A dual-sensor Overhauser magnetometer was used to conduct a magnetic survey over an area of approximately 2500 ... Read more

The present work aims to quantify the petrophysical parameters including shale content, effective porosity, and fluid saturations of the Late Jurassic Lam Member in the Habban oil field, Marib Shabwah Basin, Yemen, and also, to define the distribution and lateral connectivity of reservoir rocks which are frequently marked by severe lithological variation. The open-hole well log data from selected 5 ... Read more

A high-resolution magnetic gradiometer survey was conducted at El Dyabat archaeological hill in Akhmim, Sohag, Egypt, to investigate subsurface archaeological features. Data processing and modeling helped to estimate the depth, geometry, and distribution of buried structures. The results provide critical insights into the extent of archaeological remains and demonstrate the value of magnetic methods for non-invasive heritage exploration and preservation. ... Read more

The Late Cretaceous Matulla Formation is a major reservoir in Saqqara Oil Field in the Gulf of Suez Basin. The Matulla Formation exhibits varying reservoir qualities due to different lithologies, lateral facies fluctuations and complex reservoir architecture. These factors challenge effective reservoir development in the Gulf of Suez Basin. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the hydrocarbon ... Read more

The new discoveries recorded within the Nile Delta province throw light on the need to explore more, which encouraged using integrated studies to evaluate the petroleum systems in the offshore eastern Mediterranean area. The purpose of this study is characterizing the stratigraphic patterns, evaluating the reservoir features and identifying the depositional elements of reservoir sediments (Upper Pliocene Kafr El Sheikh ...
