An interpretation of the seismic data of Ras Budran and Abu Zenima oil fields, northern
central Gulf of Suez, is carried out to evaluate its subsurface tectonic setting. The structural configuration,
as well as the tectonic features of the concerned area is criticized through the study of 2D
and 3D seismic data interpretation with the available geological data, in which the geo-seismic
depth maps for the main interesting levels (Kareem, Nukhul, Matulla, Raha and Nubia
Formations) are depicted. Such maps reflect that, the Miocene structure of Ras Budran area is a
nearly NE–SW trending anticlinal feature, which broken into several panels by a set of NWSE
and NE–SW trending faults. The Pre-Miocene structure of the studied area is very complex, where
Ras Budran area consists of step faults down stepping to the south and southwest, which have been
subjected to cross faults of NE–SW trend with lateral and vertical displacements |
