- •
At Gebel El-Zeit, Gulf of Suez rift, a natural active seepage zone of oil occurs on the land surface.
- •
An integrated geological and geophysical study was achieved to put up a reasonable origin of the onshore active oil seep.
- •
The study proves the existence of an unexplored fault block which may has been charged by the migrating oil.
- •
The original oil in place of the predicted reservoir is estimated to be more than 47.5 MMBO.
