The improvements of three-dimensional seismic interpretation in comparison with the two-dimensional seismic interpretation in Al-Amal oil field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt

In order to study the detailed structural elements based on the 3D seismic lines; six depth structure contour maps were constructed on the tops of Zeit, South Gharib, Belayim, Kareem, Nukhul and Matulla formations from top downward. Interpretation was aided by the missing sections detected from the available well tops and dip-meter data as well. These maps indicate that, both of Miocene and Pre-Miocene formations in Al-Amal field were affected by elongated tilted graben blocks trending in the NW-SE directions and bounded by two sets of faults, which are down throwing toward the west and eastern directions.
