Structural mapping of Quseir area, northern Red Sea, Egypt, using high-resolution aeromagnetic data

Abstract: Exploration in the northern Red Sea of Egypt has had little success in locating hydrocarbon accumulation.The main exploration problems in this region are the complex block faulting and Miocene salt structures. The complex basement block structure arises from the different ages of faults and the difficulty of determining the exact age relations. In this paper, we present a case study of structural mapping using application of the Euler method to high-resolution aeromagnetic data collected in the Quseir area of … Show more

“…Similarly, the PSO algorithm was used for magnetic data acquired from Hamrawein, Egypt. This region is located at the western flank of the Red Sea and is dominated by sedimentary and metavolcanic rocks [74]. The observed anomalies were characterized by inverted model parameters of 507.64 nT, 623.05 m, 57.04 • , 0.89, and 4255.98 m (amplitude coefficient, depth, index angle, shape factor, and location of origin, respectively) and 427.38 nT, 494.14 m, 37.27 • , 0.93, and 14,823.96 m (amplitude coefficient, depth, index angle, shape factor, and location of origin, respectively) for the first and second anomalies [21].…”

“…Table 10 shows a comparison of the results achieved by the current method with those acquired by other published approaches 78 , 79 . Salem et al (2005) interpreted the Hamrawein anomaly as two-sheet structures with depths of z o1 = 555.7 and z o2 = 441.2 m. According to Salem (2005), the depths are z o1 = 540 m and z o2 = 447 m. Salem 80 used the local wavenumber (LW) approach with depths of z o1 = 432.6 m and z o2 = 422.8 m and the total gradient (TG) method with depths of z o1 = 486.5 m and z o2 = 440.4 m to explain the Hamrawein anomaly.…”

“…Geo-morphologically, the study area can be divided into two parts; the Duwi range (a long sharp ridge) and the coastal plain (no sharp bends or bays and slopes gently seaward) (Salem et al, 2005). Geologically, the study area is part of the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, where the sedimentary rocks of the area are mainly separable into two divisions: (i) the pre-rifting Cretaceous-Eocene group and (ii) the post-rifting Oligocene and later sediments group (Said, 1992).…”
