The eastern coast of the central Gulf of Suez (cGOS) has a significant geothermal potential, as expressed by the occurrence of hot springs (i.e. Hammam Faraun and Hammam Moussa) and Nazzazat oil seeps. In addition, an evaluation of from the bottom-hole temperatures (BHT) in 172 offshore boreholes shows a marked increase in geothermal gradient in the area. We attribute this geothermal anomaly to the asymmetry of the Late Tertiary GOS structural configuration and repeated Carboniferous, Jurassic and Oligo-Miocene volcanic activities at the rift margins of cGOS. The present work provides a new dataset of petrophysical characteristics of Nubian Sandstone reservoirs as a first step in their evaluation as potential reservoirs for CO2 storage and/or geothermal energy production in the GOS basin, Egypt. The dataset comprises: a) property model of pre-Cenomanian Nubian Sandstone reservoirs from Ras-Budran offshore oil-fields, the eastern sides of the cGOS; and b) laboratory measurements, including quantitative mineralogical maps using QEMscan analysis, grain density, effective porosity, capillarity, and fluid permeability of outcrop samples using routine experimental techniques. These results can be used to build a reliable 3D reservoir model that can help to achieve a quantitative evaluation of the geothermal potential of the region.
