What is Detection of Thermal Features Through Interpolation of Well-Log Data in Low-to-Medium Enthalpy Geothermal System, Gulf of Suez, Egypt about?

The Gulf of Suez (GOS) is the most promising geothermal resource for power generation to promote a green energy mix in Egypt. This research clarifies the GOS geothermal features and the control factors forming high-temperature zones by three-dimensional (3D) interpolation of temperature, geothermal gradient, and heat flux borehole temperature data from 281 oil wells with confirmed ranges of 25.1-184.5 °C (average: 105.7 °C), 0.02-6.97 °C/ (100 m) (average: 3.1 °C/(100 m)), and 20.4-232.4 mW/m 2 (average: 104.2 mW/m 2 ), respectively. K-means clustering distinguished three regional structural areas and two local accommodation zones. These formed the highest potential plays: a medium enthalpy (100-180 °C) basement-dominated play in the southernmost GOS and a low enthalpy (< 100 °C) sediment-dominated play in the northernmost GOS. The results clarified that the GOS resource is characterized by (a) large radiogenic heat and permeability at shallow basement depths, (b) frequent volcanic activity, (c) large porosity and permeability of the clastic and carbonate sequences, (d) development of fractures of varying density, geometry, intersection, and frequent rejuvenation, (e) development o
