NW-trending clysmic faults were traced along the ramp of the gemsa trough-Gebel Elzeit ridge. Toward the trough, these faults are linked with N65{u00B0}W en echelon faults. E-W to WNW-trending short fault segments were traced near the basin trough. The main reservoir in the study area is represented by thin sandstone intervals of middle miocene age imbedded in a thick shale and marl section of the kareem formation. Reservoir pinching-out and fault seal Juxtaposition provided the up-dip and lateral trap-seal for the thin and constrained reservoir levels of the kareem formation. In contrary, the more continuous, thicker and deeper pre-Miocene sandstone reservoirs were found water bearing due to absence of the effective lateral and up-dip seals UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
