Abstract

The present study is dealing with structural mapping and analysis of the GPY Concession which is located in the South of Abu Gharadig basin, Western Desert, Egypt. The present study is achieved based on 2D seismic and well data to evaluate the structural characteristics of the GPY area. The Schlumberger TM Petrel software was used for constructing time-structural maps which have been converted to depth structural maps. The interpreted structural features are represented by depth structural maps for four Upper Cretaceous horizons namely; Top Bahariya, Top Abu Roash "G", Top Abu Roash "D" and Top Khoman. Structural mapping revealed the presence of normal, dextral- oblique and reverse faults and one NE-SW trending fold. The trend analyses of the mapped faults show NW-SE, ENE-WSW and NW-SE orientations. Structural analysis revealed Late Cretaceous deformation due to deep seated dextral wrenching. The present findings can be used as analogues for correlation with the nearby oilfields that are located within Abu Gharadig Basin.
