Qarun-East Bahariya oil fields located in the Qarun Concessions in the proven and prolific Mubarak sub-basin and
Gindi basins area, Western Desert, Egypt. The present work focuses on the structure interpretation and inversion
style and its impact on the hydrocarbon entrapped oil and proceeds different traps in two basins. The Mubarak
structure is a doubly plunging anticline some 50 km wide and 100 km long that trend 70°E and comprises a main
northerly anticline with subsidiary subparallel folds to the south. The Gindi Basin is bounded from the north by
Kattaniya highly inverted basin and from the south by Wadi El Rayan-Silla high. As to Abu Gharadig basin it is
bounded from the north by Qattara ridge and from the south by Sitra platform. Both basins are separated by the
Kattaniya platform. In this area oil fields producing ranging from small to large size hydr.. View More»
