Abstract
The study area in this work was conducted in Muglad rift basin which considered as the largest Sudanese interior basins in the area of block-4 exploration area in Sudan, this basin is oriented north west – south east (NW-SE) bounded approximately by the longitudes 26° 00´ and 30° 00´ E and latitudes 8° 00´and 12°00´N. The Muglad rift basin of interior Sudan is an integral part of the west and central African rift system (WCARS).
The study area is oriented north-west, south-east (NW-SE) with about 200 km width and a length of 750 km. In the Sudan, the Central and Southern Sudan interior rift basins evolved during Late Jurassic to Early Tertiary time in response to rifting processes. Similar processes were active in other parts of Central Africa as well as along the eastern and western continental margins of Africa, and caused the formation of major rift basins.
The depositional environment is nonmarine ranging from fluvial to lacustrine. The basin has probably undergone periods of transtensional deformation indicated by the rhomb fault geometry. The rift basin has commercial reserve of petroleum, with both Cretaceous and Tertiary petroleum systems active.
