The bulk properties of coal were detected and evaluated in a trial to offer an electric print or feature of the Egyptian coal at the different states of frequencies and saturations to facilitate a TOC and S2 evaluation by a rapid and cheap electric method. In the present study, the electric print; is a term used to match the electric behaviour of the coal samples represented as electric resistivity (R) against the used current frequency (f). The coal samples were then analyzed to estimate the total organic carbon content (TOC) and Rock-Eval pyrolysis. The results reveal that, the coal samples of Safa Formation consist of mixed type II/III kerogen with very good source rock of high-level maturity properties. This indicates that the Jurassic coal of Safa Formation from Gebel El Maghara in North Sinai have oil and gas prone coals and also, indicates that do not generate one type of oil but instead the character of oils will be variable. The most strongly oil prone coals analyzed here would be expected to generate waxy oils. The measured electric resistivity values, on the other hand, have a good contribution from the TOC of Safa samples, so it was possible to calculate the TOC in terms of R at the different frequencies in the dry state.
