摘要

The paper makes an integrated study of the salt distribution, salt tectonics features and exploration potential in the Middle area of the Sudanese Red Sea based on regional geology, wildcats and seismic data. The results indicate that the Mid-Miocene Dungunab Formation has extensive distribution in the Middle of the Sudanese Red Sea and the main salt structure styles include salt sheet, salt ridge, salt anticline and bulk salt body etc.. The depositional differential loading of above-salt successions caused the salt thickness and salt structure styles to bring about diverse distribution characteristics.
