Marine Geological Study of the Levant Basin, Based on the Analysis and Interpretation of Geophysical Data Obtained from the Exclusive Economic Zone of Israel
Summary:
The Eastern Mediterranean Basin is characterized by highly variable seafloor morphology and sediment transport pathways and distribution, derived from an interaction of multiple geological processes. It comprises three major basins, i.e., the Ionian, Herodotus and Levant (Phoenician). In the latter one, significant hydrocarbon (gas) accumulations have recently been discovered (and exploited) in the Oligocene-Miocene and Pliocene canyon and deep water turbidite systems of the area (e.g., fields of Aphrodite, Dalit, Gaza Marine, Karish, Leviathan, Mari-B, Nir, Noa, Tamar, Tanin). For the accomplishment of the objectives of the present MSc Thesis, data collected from the performance of an oceanographic survey in the Karish gas field (located in the northern sector of the Israel’s offshore exclusive economic zone) by the "Energean Oil and Gas Ltd" have been integrated. Hence, geophysical prospection data (i.e., swath bathymetry, side-scan sonar imagery, seismic-reflection sub bottom profiles) as well as visual inspections from underwater remotely-operated vehicles have been reanalyzed and interpreted in order to unravel the geomorphic and tectonic processes in the Levant Basin.
