Sequence stratigraphy of the syn-rift miocene succession in the Abu Rudeis-Sidri Field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt.

ABSTRACT: The syn-rift Miocene succession of the Gulf of Suez remains poorly constrained, with persistent uncertainties in rift initiation timing, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and the interplay between tectonics and eustasy-factors that complicate stratigraphic correlation and hydrocarbon exploration. This study aims to refine the chronostratigraphic framework, reconstruct depositional environments, and develop a detailed sequence stratigraphic model for the Abu Rudeis-Sidri Field in the east-central Gulf of Suez through integration of high-resolution foraminiferal biostratigraphy, wireline logs, and seismic data from four wells (ARM-7, ARS-6, SIDRI-20, SIDRI-9). Planktonic and benthic foraminifera constrain the succession to the early Burdigalian-early Langhian, encompassing the Globigerinoid
