The rise in level and increase in salinity of groundwater became a phenomenon causing accelerated deterioration of stone foundations of visible temples and monuments at several sites in Egypt. Abydos (the Osirion) is one of these sites, located about 13 km west of the River Nile in El-Balyana District, Sohag Governorate. The Osirion is located behind the temple of Abydos ... Read more

Determination of the fluid type in a reservoir is considered one of the main essential purposes of the formation evaluation processes. Badri Field, located in the southern part of the Gulf of Suez, is one of the most prolific areas in the Gulf of Suez. Presence of sandstone streaks in Sidri and Baba members within Belayim Formation in some wells ... Read more

The study area is located on the North Western Coast of the Mediterranean Sea which has been selected for establishing a nuclear power plant in Egypt. In this study, the hydrogeological conditions of the site are discussed and evaluated, based on the field survey of soil boring, the piezometers data and the chemical analysis of groundwater samples. The Quaternary aquifer ... Read more

Presence of sandstone streaks in Sidri Member within Belayim Formation that lies between two productive zones; Kareem Formation and Hammam Faraun Member, was the main reason to perform this study. It may represent a good hydrocarbon reservoir and will be added to the Egyptian oil production in some wells of Badri field. This Member has high resistivity signature on Electric-logs ... Read more

measurements into the MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) inversion process. The objective was to evaluate whether incorporating ultrasonic velocities could improve the accuracy of near-surface shear-wave velocity models. The results indicated that the approach is both feasible and beneficial, enhancing reliability in geotechnical and environmental site characterization. Read more

This study introduces a new systematic correlation method to estimate formation fluid types in the Belayim Formation, Badri Field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt. Well-logging crossplots, including resistivity, density, neutron, and sonic logs, were integrated to discriminate between oil, gas, and water zones with improved accuracy. The proposed approach enhances fluid characterization and reduces uncertainties in reservoir evaluation. The results demonstrate ... Read more

Geophysical prospecting is commonly used in solving environmental problems because of time saving, low cost, and nondestructive. The main objective of this study was to investigate the environmental impact assessment of groundwater contamination near El-Dair waste disposal site, west of Sohag city, Egypt to delineate a contaminant plume. The resistivity and self-potential (SP) methods can be helpful complement to geochemical ... Read more

The distribution of oil and gas accumulations in the Hamada oil pool is strongly influenced by the structural architecture of the study area. An analysis was undertaken to appraise the effectiveness of using the current remote sensing data and deep seismic reflection profiles to evaluate both the surface and subsurface structures of the Hamada oil pool on the western part ...

The Northwestern Coast of Egypt has been selected as a strategic location for establishing a nuclear power plant, necessitating precise site characterization to ensure safety and sustainability. This study integrates microgravity surveys with engineering analyses to evaluate subsurface conditions and identify optimal siting zones. Microgravity data were interpreted to delineate structural features, subsurface density variations, and potential geohazards, while engineering ... Read more
