Abstract
The economic importance of the oil shale comes from the verity that it contains organic matter and
substantial amounts of kerogen from which liquid hydrocarbons can be constructed. If it is immature it can be used
after burning, as a source of energy in the production of electricity.
The study area is characterized by the presence of considerable extensions of oil shale within Dakhla shale as deduced
from geological studies. This formation contains significant amounts of kerogen from which liquid hydrocarbons can be
manufactured. Magnetic and resistivity techniques are used to delineate the subsurface occurrences of the oil shale.
Interpretation of the field measurements show that its thickness increases towards N and NE of the study area and
restricted by an asymmetrical synclinal fold with a maximum of (62) m
