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

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 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

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate the clay content and petrophysical characteristics of the Rutbah Formation in the Sijan Field and their impact on production. This involves analyzing various borehole measurements to assess reser-voir quality and predict fluid flow behaviour. Additionally, the study aims to compare wells in the Sejan field to show the differences in petrophysical ... Read more

The geodynamic evolution of the Sinai Triple Junction, a highly deformed and seismically active area, is controlled by the Red Sea rift, Gulf of Suez and Aqaba-Dead Sea conjunctions. However, the driving forces for the focusing deformation at crustal depths beneath this area are still ambiguous. Here, we provide an updated seismotectonic map of the area relying on updated seismological ... Read more

Integration between the analyses of both fieldwork and remote sensing dataset were employed to assess the structural evolution of molasse basins and explore gold mineral deposits in the El Qash area, Central Eastern Desert of Egypt. Sandstone, mudstones, wacke, and pebbly conglomerates make up most of the sediments in the molasse basins. The younger basins (595–575 Ma) are small, less ... Read more

Integrated magnetic and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were carried out at Arabah Al-Madfuna settlement, Abydos, Egypt, to map potential buried archaeological objects. The results revealed subsurface anomalies consistent with archaeological remains, providing new insights into the extent of the ancient settlement. This work demonstrates the value of combined geophysical techniques for non-invasive archaeological prospection and heritage conservation. Read more

* Understanding deformational processes and related structures at various scales, necessitates an estimate of microstructural and finite strain characterization of deformed rocks. In the current research, 23 collected samples of metaconglomerates, metsediments, and metavolcanics from the Wadi El-Qash region, placed in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, were used to quantify the finite strain of quartz, feldspar porphyroclasts, and mafic ...

Numerous farmers regularly irrigate their farms with inadequately treated sewage water pumped from the sewage system in the Arab El-Madabegh district of Assiut City, Egypt. According to previous studies, long-term irrigation with partially treated sewage water resulted in significant changes in the physicochemical properties of soil. The principal goals of this study are (1) to infer empirical equations between geoelectrical ... Read more

The scientific controversy among archaeologists about the existence of paleochannels under the Abydos archaeological site, Sohag, Egypt connecting the Osirion (cenotaph of Seti I) with the Nile River has been explained in this study. This study is an attempt to address this issue using integrating a near-surface geophysical approach with stable isotopic geochemistry on this site. Particularly, the stable oxygen ... Read more
