After the recent gas discoveries onshore (e.g., Noras) and offshore (e.g., Zohr), the Nile Delta have become one of the biggest gas-producing provinces in Africa (Shehata, 2008; Leila & Moscariello, 2019; Leila et al., 2020). The Nile Delta's main reservoir sources range in age from the Oligocene to the Late Pliocene. The potential for probable hydrocarbon accumulations in the Nile Delta was increased by the presence of various mature source rocks (Jurassic to Early Miocene), as well as structural and stratigraphic traps (Abdel Aal et al., 1994; EGPC, 1994; Dolson et al., 2005). The Jurassic and upper Cretaceous-lower Paleogene source rock intervals were the main sources of the thermogenic gas, condensate, and light oil accumulations in the Nile Delta
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
