Study of the Physical Properties of the Miocene Limestone rocks, New El-Alamein City, North Coast, Egypt.

Abstract

This study is used to investigate the relationships between different elastic moduli and petrophysical properties to detect the different rock types based on Material Competence scales and Material Bearing Capacity. In order to detect the different rock types using various techniques such as the hydraulic flow unit HFU and The Electrical flow unit EFU.

The measured petrophysical parameters for the Miocene (Limestone) rocks, presented by the Marmarica Formation in New El-Alamein City, North Coast, Egypt shows many fundamental rock properties. The sedimentological features of the Miocene limestone rocks were discussed using thin section petrography.
