| Abstract | ||
| This study is concerned with the Neogene-Quaternary subsurface sedimentary succession of Tao Field in the Offshore North Sinai, Nile Delta Basin. The integration of the stratigraphy, the seismic data and the tectonics would help us to produce an overall view of the study area. The interpretation of all available seismic data using the PETREL-software enables to make basin prospect or field-scale 2D seismic interpretation and mapping in order to draw an integral view for the proposed aim of the work. The seismic analysis of available data allows the investigated succession to be divided into two mega-sequences: the Pre- and Post-Messinian Mega-sequences. The Miocene rock units are included in the Pre-Messinian Mega-sequence, whereas the targeted rock units are included in the Post-Messinian Mega-sequence. Different structural features are identified in the study area, including Slides, Slumps, Growth faults, collapse structure as shallow structures. Also, listric faults, roll-over fold and salt diapir are identified as deep structural features. The major structural trend is oriented NW-SE. | ||
