Abstract

The objective of the present study is to predict environment of deposition, sediment dispersal pattern and presence of reservoir facies of the Kafr -el - Sheikh Formation of Pliocene age within the study area located in the deepwater part of Nile delta and eastern Mediterranean basin. The principal inputs in this study have been the seismic facies maps which describe the large-scale variations and the RMS amplitude maps, excellent tool to identify individual depositional elements such as channel systems, fan-lobes and sheet sands commonly present at deepwater sedimentary environment.
