A new exploration method was developed by Saunders et al.(1993) which uses surface and aerial gamma-ray spectral measurements in prospecting for hydrocarbon accumulations in stratigraphic and structural traps. This method was applied on the recorded aerial gamma-ray spectrometric survey data of the Bahariya Oasis area, Northern Western Desert, Egypt. The study area displays a special importance in recent years, due to the discovery of economic iron ore deposits in Algedida and Nasser areas as well as ...
