data derived from Petroconsultants, 1996

Producing field allocation to total petroleum system based primarily on Alsharhan and Salah, 1997a; Barakat and others, 1997; Cole and others, 1995; and Rohrback, 1983. Although Amal field (#81) probably produces both Sudr and Maqna sourced oils, it is here assigned to the Maqna system.

Fields are listed in an approximate northwest to southeast progression from the Gulf of Suez into the Red Sea.
