Yield Appraisal of the Cretaceous-Paleogene Oil Shales of the Quseir-Safaga Area, Red Sea, Egypt
Abstract:Oil shales are source rocks of low to moderate maturity, which are considered as a potential deposit for future hydrocarbon generation. In Egypt, the epicontinental Cretaceous-Paleogene sequence is a part of a Middle East belt of oil shale deposits. The belt, in the Egyptian territories, is trending east-west and extending from the Quseir-Safaga district along the Red Sea to the Kharga-Dakhla oases in the Western Desert, passing through the Nile Valley between Idfu and Qena.
