1. Geology Of Egypt
Petroleum

2. location

3. Egypt is the most
prominent petroleum
refiner in Africa.
Egypt play a key role in
the international
petroleum market due to
its geographical position.
Peak oil reached 922,000
bpd in 1996 current
720,000 bpd.
5th largest oil producer in
middle east and 3rd gas
producer.

9. HISTORY OF THE EARTH

15. Continental drift events

16. WesternDesert
the desert was a bottom of sea
( marine environment ).
Million of years, the Mediterranean sea
was cover the Egyptian desert
Oil was formed.
Marin animals died and buried.

17. Mediterranean
Sea
the processes of bacterial organic matter
alteration subside, while temperatures and
pressures of the rock increase and gradually
trigger chemical changes that lead to the
generation of oil and smaller quantities of
natural gas.
Marin animals was died and buried
under the sea floor.
(thermogenic) natural gas will be formed

18. Oil and gas window

20. Changes in carbon isotope ratios with thermal maturation

21. NileDeltaRegion
Due to fast deposits carried with Nile water.
This plant was quickly covered by clay and
shale.
Millions of years ago, the Nile water
was covering the delta, which led to
growing of jungles and trees.
Coaling mechanism was taken place, a coal
was formed then with higher temperature, the
natural gas was formed

23. EasternDesert
Millions of years ago, Africa and Asia was
contacted with the same continental crust,
then due to plate tectonic, the crust was
diverged and the red sea was created
No oil and gas field are situated in
western desert.
The eastern desert rock converted into
metamorphic rock due to the higher
temperature contractions.
Due to the crack of crust, lava was out of the
earth led to high temperature volcanic
magma at the eastern desert.
