Petroleum exploration around Gulf of Suez
began just over 100 years ago at Ras Gemsa,
with commercial scale oil production starting
in 1909. The Gulf is now a well established oil
province, presently ranked seventh in terms of
production among the major grabens or rift basins
of the world.
Allover the Gulf of Suez, the Miocene sediments
seems to have a very important role in
oil accumulation especially in the studied area
(October Field), where the large oil discoveries
are all located in the tilted fault blocks.
In the present paper we are intended to assess
the hydrocarbon potentiality of the Northern
parts of October Field.
