Cyanobacterial mats developing in oil-contaminated sabkhas along the African coasts of the Gulf of Suez and in the pristine Solar Lake, Sinai, were collected for laboratory studies. Samples of both mats showed efficient degradation of crude oil in the light, followed by development of an intense bloom of Phormidium spp. and Oscillatoria spp. Isolated cyanobacterial strains, however, did not deg...

Species groups also varied significantly between regions. Crustaceans contributed 22–35 per cent of species number in Alaska, Antarctica, the Arctic, Brazil, California, the Caribbean and Humboldt regions, but only 10 per cent in the Baltic. Mollusc species were equally varied, comprising 26 per cent of species in Australia and Japan but only 5–7 per cent of the species in the Baltic, Californi...

The present study deals with the Petrophysical Evaluation of Nubia A Lower Cretaceous age in Formation, Ras Budran oil field, Gulf Suez, Egypt. petrophysical parameters results Formation is represented laterally (Iso-parametric maps, such as effective porosity, shale content, net-pay thickness and hydrocarbon saturation maps).A set well logs has been run for selected four wells. These wells nam...
