Abstract

The study area is located on the offshore part of the western side of the Gulf of Suez, 3.5 Km east of
Ras Gharib shoreline. The Ras Fanar field was explored in 1978 by drilling well KK 84-1, it penetrated relatively thin
post Miocene clastics, Miocene evaporites and found a thick sequence of oil bearing carbonate rock built-up; the pre-
Miocene strata were uplifted, faulted and deeply eroded during Oligocene times. The target of this investigation is to
deduce newly oil prospects in this area by using available magnetic, seismic, and reservoir data. Power spectrum is
used to determine depth ranges of basement structure. Seismic interpretation integrates with magnetic to confirm the
structural elements using Petrophysical analysis to determine the prospect are
