The purpose of this study is to define the geographic area of an estimated depth to an Eastern desert intrusion near wadi Qena. The study also clarified the many stages of deformations connected to this intrusion. Aeromagnetic data was employed using the goal of this investigation for this purpose. Along with the underlying structure, these intrusions' depths and magnetic susceptibilities ... Read more

The Abydos archaeological site represents one of the most important burial grounds for kings and high court dignitaries in ancient Egypt which is located at about 13 km west of the River Nile along El-Balyana town at Sohag Governorate, Egypt. High resolution gradiometer survey was conducted on the area surrounding the Osirion at Abydos. The main objective of the present ... Read more

This study investigates the Lower Jurassic sequence in Gebel El-Maghara, North Sinai, Egypt, through integrated petrophysical analysis and microfacies characterization. Core and log data revealed lithological heterogeneity, reservoir quality variations, and diagenetic influences on porosity and permeability. The findings provide valuable insights into Jurassic reservoir assessment and hydrocarbon exploration potential in the region. Read more

A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was carried out at the Abydos Temple site, Sohag, Egypt, to explore subsurface archaeological features. The results revealed buried structures and possible extensions of the temple foundation. This archaeogeophysical investigation demonstrates the effectiveness of GPR as a non-destructive tool for heritage preservation and archaeological site management. Read more

Reservoir formation damage is a major problem that the oil and gas industry has to mitigate in order to maintain the oil and gas supply. A case study is presented that identifies the impacts of formation damage and their causes in the Nubian ‘C’ hydrocarbon reservoir within Sidki field located in the Southern Gulf of Suez, Egypt. In addition, a ... Read more

This work presents a petrographical and petrophysical study of the Middle and Upper Jurassic sequences at Gebel El-Maghara, North Sinai, Egypt. Thin-section analysis and petrophysical evaluation revealed lithological variations, reservoir properties, and diagenetic features controlling porosity and permeability. The results provide insights into Jurassic reservoir characterization and hydrocarbon potential in North Sinai. Read more

This study applies Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to characterize the subsurface conditions surrounding the Osirion at Abydos archaeological site, Sohag, Egypt. The ERT profiles delineated lithological variations, groundwater pathways, and potential weak zones that may threaten the monument’s stability. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of ERT in engineering site characterization and emphasize its role in cultural heritage preservation and risk ... Read more

This study applied Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to investigate the subsurface around the Osirion at Abydos, Sohag, Egypt. The survey revealed hidden archaeological features and possible structural extensions of the monument. The results emphasize the effectiveness of GPR in non-invasive archaeological prospection and in supporting conservation of cultural heritage at Abydos. Read more

Due to the increasing in the population density, the restriction of the agricultural areas and the scarcity of building's lands and their highly costs in Egypt, especially in Sohag province which led the officials and decisionmarkers to search for alternatives in the desert places to solve this problems. Therefore, New Akhmim area was proposed as a new site for constructing ... Read more

Despite the modernity of the 15th Mayo city, buildings suffer progressively from engineering problems which are increased over the last 10 years like cracks, fissures, cavities and tilting of building. The main target of this work is to delineate the dynamic engineering characteristics of subsurface rocks and soils through interpretation of Pand S-wave velocities, knowledge of probable causes of structural ...
