3D geometry and kinematic evolution of extensional fault-related folds, NW Red Sea, Egypt
Abstract: Fault-related folds are common structural features found at a variety of scales in extensional settings, and have been recognized in both outcrop and subsurface studies. However, the detailed geometry and origin of complex 3D folds adjacent to normal faults are poorly known, and, in some cases, are interpreted to be due to strike-slip tectonics and post-rift contraction. Here we examine the 3D geometry of seismic-scale folds in a rift margin – the Red Sea – and discuss the interrelationship between the growth of normal faults and the development of their related folds. Detailed field mapping of the NW Red Sea rift system has shown that the rift margin is dominated by two large extensional fault systems formed by a series of linked NNW-, north–south- and NNE-striking fault segments. These linked segments exhibit distinct zigzag fault patterns and combine to form a number of NNW-trending faults that dip NE with dominant hanging-wall stratal dips to the SW. Hanging-wall stratal dips define 3D extensional fault-related synclinal folds in pre- and early synrift strata. The hanging-wall synclines are kilometre-scale, gently doubly plunging, with curved axial surface traces orientated sub-parallel to the bounding faults. Field data demonstrated that these folds are formed by along-strike variations in fault displacements, and they form transverse synclines combined with hanging-wall extensional fault-propagation folds. The complex 3D geometry of the hanging-wall synclines is the result of the along-strike segment linkage. Adjacent to the bounding faults, the stratal dips are sub-parallel to the faults as a result of extensional fault-propagation folding controlled by highly anisotropic pre-rift strata. Palaeo-strain analyses of fault-slip data, together with analysis of the fold geometry, clearly indicate that the faulting and folding in the NW Red Sea are formed by pure NE–SW extension during the Late Oligocene–Miocene rifting, and that contraction or strike-slip tectonics need not be invoked.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of literature data (~2600 analyses), including major and trace elements and Sr-Nd isotopes, on continental flood basalts from the Ethiopia-Yemen, Deccan (India), and Karoo (southern Africa) volcanic provinces in order to evaluate whether they can be attributable to similar tectonomagmatic processes that occurred during the past 200 m.y. in central Gondwana. Results indicate that the three investigated provinces share fundamental features, such as the following: (1) Major and trace element compositions are closely comparable, in terms of parental magmas and fractionation trends, for the various continental flood basalt suites recognized in the provinces, namely, low Ti (LT, TiO 2 0.5–3 wt%), high Ti (HT1, TiO 2 1–4 wt%), and very high Ti (HT2, TiO 2 2.5–7 wt%). (2) There is a clear zonal arrangement of continental flood basalts, with the hottest (potential temperature T p up to ~1600 °C) and deepest (up to 5 GPa) HT picrite-basalt magmas in the central area and cooler and shallower LT basalts (T p down to 1450 °C, pressure [ P ] = 2–3 GPa) at the periphery, corresponding to a maximum thermal difference of 60–110 °C from the inner to the outer zones in each province. This conforms to continental flood basalt generation from a lenticular melting region, plausibly reflecting thermo-compositionally zoned plume heads, with maximum excess temperature T ex = 250–300 °C with respect to the notional mid-ocean-ridge basalt (MORB) ambient mantle. (3) The central area of all provinces is characterized by the nearly exclusive occurrence of superheated HT picrite-basalt (and nearly coeval alkaline-carbonatite complexes) at the intersection of multiple extensional lineaments (faulting, rifting, and dike swarms), reflecting the focus of the tectonomagmatic activities. (4) The common occurrence of rhyolitic differentiates at the top of picrite-basalt lavas (e.g., Lalibela suite, northern Ethiopia; Pavagadh suite, Deccan; Lebombo suite, African Karoo) has to be considered an effect of the inversion of the stress regime, from generalized regional extension (continental flood basalt eruption) to localized continental rifting accompanying magma differentiation to rhyolites; activity at some of these rift and dike systems, e.g., the Western Afar Escarpment, the coastal dikes of Western Deccan, and the Rooi Rand dikes, was protracted until continental breakup and the opening of new oceanic branches of the Red Sea, the central Indian Ocean, and southwestern Indian Ocean, respectively. (5) The Sr-Nd isotope distributions of continental flood basalts show HT picrite-basalt magmas mostly recording mantle values unaffected by continental lithospheric signatures, and LT basalts mainly reflecting either mixed source components located at the lithosphere-asthenosphere transition or continental crust contamination, particularly in the Karoo and Deccan provinces. Overall, results from this review provide compelling evidence that hot mantle plumes impinged diachronously on the central Gondwana lithosphere, causing similar tectonomagmatic events and continental flood basalt zonal arrangements that reflect a common thermocompositional zonation of the plume head in the three investigated provinces.

The hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Egyptian North Red Sea basin
Abstract Recent work by a multi-disciplinary team has led to a significantly better understanding of the prospectivity of the North Red Sea. New regional biostratigraphic and environmental analysis from north to south through the Gulf of Suez and into the Red Sea have placed the Nubian sequences into a regional chronostratigraphic framework. The Nubian Upper Cretaceous pre-rift sandstones are observed in the field on both the Egyptian and Saudi Arabian side of the North Red Sea. This regionally extensive sequence was deposited in a continental to shallow marine setting fringing the Mesozoic Tethys Ocean, which lay further north. Extensive onshore fieldwork and mapping of sediment input points, fault orientations and fault linkages have helped to develop an understanding of the expected controls on syn-rift sandstone and carbonate deposition offshore. Thick halite with interbedded evaporite and clastics in the Late Miocene sequences of the Red Sea pose seismic imaging challenges. Recent reprocessing and newly acquired seismic data have produced a step change improvement in imaging of the prospective pre-rift section. Petroleum systems modelling incorporating new information on rift timing and crustal thinning as well as onshore core analysis for source rock properties and temperature variation through time indicates that oil expulsion occurs in the inboard section of North Red Sea – Block 1. This is supported by hydrocarbon shows in the drilled offshore wells which can be typed to pre-rift source rocks from stable isotope and biomarker data. All the key elements of the Gulf of Suez petroleum system exist in the North Red Sea. An integrated exploration approach has enabled prospective areas in the North Red Sea – Block 1 to be high-graded for drilling in early 2011.
