The Nile Delta occupies the northeastern part of the African continent and it is one of the world’s classic deltas. The present-day delta has passed through different events as part of the regional tectonics in the Mediterranean area which has shaped many of its physiographic features. This area is now regarded as major gas province and one of the most promising areas for future petroleum exploration. In 2010, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated means of 1.8 billion barrels of recoverable oil, 223 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas, and 6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids in the Nile Delta Basin Province using a geology-based assessment methodology.
