Integrated geophysical techniques applied for petroleum basins structural characterization in the central part of the Western Desert, Egypt

Abstract The study area is situated in the central part of Western Desert Egypt between latitude 28°00′ to 30°00′ N and longitude 25°00′ E. That region distinguished by a featureless plain that divided depressions Siwa, Qattara, Bahariya. purpose current predominant structures how they relate basin structure. Utilizing aerogravity data (Bouguer gravity, residual downward continuation, Euler deconvolution) aeromagnetic (reduced northern Pole [RTP] anomalies tilt derivative) essential accomplish this purpose. Through both qualitative analyses, these were submitted various processing interpretation approaches. subsurface structure configuration trending E–W, N–S, NW–SE, NE–SW, ENE–WSW, NNE–SSW directions has been simulated utilizing data. According maps, around 44 faults. study's findings indicated direction basement was almost NE–SW N–S. optimum depth deconvolution at index, SI = 0 shows several features area, including Sill, Dyke, Ribbon, Step structures.
