Integrated Approach to Imaging and Pore Pressure Prediction in the Nile Delta

The Nile Delta area is well known for its geological and geophysical complexity due to:<br>1. the presence of gas clouds, chimneys, channels and growth faults in the Pliocene/Late Pliocene series;<br>2. the variability in terms of lithology, structure and thickness of the Messinian formations that cause a highly irregular and<br>laterally varying velocity structure;<br>3. the low SNR of seismic data in the pre-Messinian series caused by the above described irregularities combined with the<br>contamination of seismic data due to the presence of multiples.
