Abstract：
The Central Eastern Desert and Red Sea region have emerged as a significant area of interest for geothermal energy exploration, owing to their unique geological characteristics and active tectonic activity. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the region\'s geothermal potential through a comprehensive analysis of gravity and magnetic data. By utilizing a 3D gravity inversion model, a detailed examination of subsurface structures and density variations was conducted. Similarly, a 3D magnetic inversion model was employed to investigate subsurface magnetic properties. Integration result from the Pygimli library ensured robustness and accuracy in the inversion results. Furthermore, a temperature model was developed using the WINTERC-G model and inversion techniques, shedding light on the thermal structure and potential anomalies in the study area. The analysis of the Bouguer gravity map, 3D gravity inversion model, and magnetic data inversion yielded significant findings. The Red Sea exhibited higher gravity values compared to the onshore Eastern Desert, attributed to the presence of a thinner and denser oceanic crust as opposed to the less dense continental crust in the Eastern Desert. The 3D gravity inversion model revealed distinct variations in density, particularly high-density zones near the surface of the Red Sea, indicating underlying geological structures and processes. Conversely, density gradually decreased with depth along the onshore line, potentially influenced by a higher concentration of crustal fractures. The magnetic data inversion technique provided additional insights, highlighting areas with demagnetized materials, indicative of elevated temperatures. These findings were consistent with the correlation between high-density areas and low magnetic susceptibility values, reinforcing the proposition of increased heat transfer from the Red Sea. Comparative analysis of temperature profiles further confirmed the presence of elevated temperatures in promising zones, emphasizing the geothermal potential associated with heat transfer from the Red Sea.This research contributes to the understanding of the geothermal resources in the Central Eastern Desert and Red Sea region. The results from gravity and magnetic data inversions, combined with temperature profiles, provide valuable information for future geothermal exploration and utilization efforts. The findings underscore the importance of geothermal energy in achieving sustainability and contribute to the global discourse on renewable energy sources.
摘要：
中东部沙漠和红海地区已成为地热能勘探的重要领域，由于其独特的地质特征和活跃的构造活动。这项研究旨在通过对重力和磁性数据的综合分析来增强我们对该地区地热潜力的理解。利用三维重力反演模型,进行了地下结构和密度变化的详细检查。同样，采用三维磁反演模型研究地下磁特性。来自Pygimli库的积分结果确保了反演结果的鲁棒性和准确性。此外，使用WINTERC-G模型和反演技术建立了温度模型，对研究区的热结构和潜在异常进行光照。对布格重力图的分析，三维重力反演模型,和磁数据反演产生了重要的发现。与陆上东部沙漠相比，红海表现出更高的重力值，与东部沙漠中密度较低的大陆壳相反，这归因于海洋壳的存在。三维重力反演模型揭示了密度的明显变化，特别是靠近红海表面的高密度地带，指示潜在的地质结构和过程。相反，密度沿岸线随深度逐渐减小，可能受到较高浓度的地壳骨折的影响。磁数据反演技术提供了额外的见解，用消磁材料突出显示区域，表明温度升高。这些发现与高密度区域和低磁化率值之间的相关性一致，加强从红海传热的主张。对温度曲线的比较分析进一步证实了在有希望的区域中存在高温，强调与红海传热相关的地热势。这项研究有助于了解中东部沙漠和红海地区的地热资源。重力和磁数据反演的结果，结合温度曲线，为今后的地热勘探和利用工作提供有价值的信息。调查结果强调了地热能在实现可持续性方面的重要性，并为全球关于可再生能源的讨论做出了贡献。
