The study area is located in the Quseir–Safaga area of the Egyptian Red Sea Coast. This location considered one of the most promising areas for touristic villages depending on groundwater domestic uses as well as geothermal energy. The geothermal energy is considered one of the promising sources in the studied area. Nevertheless, few attempts have been carried out to evaluate the geothermal setting of the area. The present study aims to throw more light on studying the predominant structures in the area and their relation with geothermal manifestations, as well as defining the hydrothermal system type at the study area. Achieving this goal is dependent on using aeromagnetic data in the form of reduced to northern Pole (RTP) anomalies. These data were subjected to different techniques of processing and interpretation through both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Two-dimensional (2D) modeling of aeromagnetic data has been used to simulate the subsurface structure configuration along some selected profiles trending in NW-SE and E-W directions. In addition, a conceptual model of the hydrothermal system was built based on geophysical results of the aeromagnetic data analysis and processed numerically to obtain a 2D hydrothermal model that contains all simplifications and assumptions made on the conceptual model. The HYDROTHERM Interactive (HTI) program version 3 was used for two-dimensional simulation in the study area to study the temperature and pressure distributions beneath the study area. The results of the study showed that the depth to basement from the ground surface ranges from 20 to 1200 m. The hydrothermal simulation in the area indicated that the origin of thermal water is due to high heat flow and deep groundwater circulation controlled by structures in the subsurface reservoir. Under the thermal water, the water speeds up and flows through the fractures and faults. In general, the high heat flow in the Eastern Desert is associated with shallow basement depths. Thus, the modeled hydrothermal system is considered a dynamic type.

埃及红海海岸Quseir和Safaga地区之间的地下结构和概念热液模型

研究区域位于埃及红海海岸的Quseir–Safaga地区。根据地下水的家庭用途以及地热能,这个位置被认为是旅游村最有希望的地区之一。地热能被认为是该研究区域中有希望的能源之一。然而,很少有人尝试评估该地区的地热环境。本研究旨在进一步研究该地区的主要结构及其与地热表现的关系,并确定研究区域的热液系统类型。实现此目标取决于使用以减少到北极(RTP)异常形式的航空磁数据。通过定性和定量分析,对这些数据进行了不同的处理和解释技术。航空数据的二维(2D)建模已被用来模拟沿NW-SE和EW方向发展的某些选定剖面的地下结构构造。此外,根据航空磁数据分析的地球物理结果建立了热液系统的概念模型,并对其进行了数值处理,以获得二维水热模型,其中包含对该概念模型所做的所有简化和假设。HYDROTHERM Interactive(HTI)程序版本3在研究区域中用于二维模拟,以研究研究区域下方的温度和压力分布。研究结果表明,从地面到地下室的深度范围为20至1200 m。该地区的热液模拟表明,热水的起源是由于地下储层结构控制的高热流和深层地下水循环。在热水之下,水加速并流过裂缝和断层。通常,东部沙漠中的高热流与地下室浅层深度有关。因此,模拟的热液系统被认为是动态类型。水加速并流过裂缝和断层。通常,东部沙漠中的高热流与地下室浅层深度有关。因此,模拟的热液系统被认为是动态类型。水加速并流过裂缝和断层。通常,东部沙漠中的高热流与地下室浅层深度有关。因此,模拟的热液系统被认为是动态类型。
