Abstract:
The present study is mainly devoted to the critical analysis of the geophysical data, including the gravity anomalies and the drill hole in- larmations in Kharga area for better understanding of its subsurface structural features that has economic potentiality.
Such a critical analysis revealed that the regional structural setting of the area is gcnerally consists of majör faulted blocks. These faults had affected the basement complex and the cverlying sedimentary suc- cession by throws having different magnitudes ranges between 50 to 250 meters. Some of the faults which vvere detected from the residual - anomaly map indicate the presence of tsvo fault trends striking NW- SE and NE—SW parallel to the Gulf of Sucz and Gulf of Aqaba respecti- vely. It is concluded that the maximuın thickness of the sedimentary succession overlying the basement complex which recorded in the area is about 950 meters.
