Exploration Opportunities In Egypt’s Deepwater Eastern Mediterranean Insights into the Complex Plio-Pleistocene Structural Play

The Plio-Pleistocene section is the shallower play in the Nile delta and Mediterranean basin. The detached faults play a significant role in the Plio-Pleistocene. That faults detached at the surface of the Messinian salt. This study aims to better understand the structural complexity of deep marine Mediterranean basin and the possibility of discovering new leads and prospects on focused area. The study area is subjected also to various tensional and compressional elements that is very clear on the Plio-Pleistocene section. The salt diapers of the Messinian salt also make their famous trap styles on the upper section. The interaction between various fault systems and the influence of mobile salt layers created diverse structure trap styles. The shallow depth of the reservoir makes it a favorable target for exploration activity.
