Abstract | ||||
the purpose of the present study is investigated the subsurface rocks of Gibb Afia-2 well in terms of their stratigraphical, sedimentological, and paleontological characteristics. The following topics are emphasized forming the general outline of this study: 1. Lithostratigraphic analysis of the studied well and matching the stratigraphic succession with the general stratigraphy of the northern Western Desert. 2. Description of structural elements and tectonic features and their relation to the general structural framework of the Western Desert. 3. Characterizing the nature of different facies, especially those associated with oil generation and accumulation. 4. Biostratigraphic analysis and determination of the faunal content of the studied well. | ||||
