Facies analysis and petrophysical investigation of the Late Miocene Abu Madi sandstones gas reservoirs from offshore Baltim East field (Nile Delta, Egypt)

Mohamed Abdel-Fattah et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the petrographical and petrophysical properties of the upper Miocene Abu Madi Formation in the Nile Delta, confirming the reservoir depositional environment and quality. The research reveals that the sandstone reservoirs in this region exhibit excellent hydraulic properties, while finer-grained sandstones present lower reservoir quality.

Petrophysical heterogeneity of the early Cretaceous Alamein dolomite reservoir from North Razzak oil field, Egypt integrating well logs, core measurements, and machine learning approach

Souvik Sen et al.

Summary: Capturing petrophysical heterogeneities within a reservoir is crucial for reservoir deliverability and field development programs. This study evaluated the Alamein dolomite reservoir in the Western Desert of Egypt, identifying a wide range of porosity and permeability. A permeability prediction model based on Random Forest regression provided more confident predictions compared to conventional methods, and six distinct petrofacies associations were identified based on petrophysical attributes.

A proposed classification for the reservoir quality assessment of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone and carbonate reservoirs: A correlative study based on different assessment petrophysical procedures

Bassam A. Abuamarah et al.

Summary: Petrophysical reservoir quality assessment involves parameters such as RQI, FZI, and MICP for sandstone and carbonate rocks. The study classified samples into six petrophysical static rock types and introduced a new ranking classification based on cutoff values for all reservoir types. The MICP results showed various pore sizes and the need for a new ranking system irrespective of filling fluids.

Petrophysical assessment and permeability modeling utilizing core data and machine learning approaches - A study from the Badr El Din-1 field, Egypt

Sherif Farouk et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comprehensive petrophysical evaluation of reservoirs in the Western Desert of Egypt using machine learning algorithms, which identified three distinct reservoir rock types and interpreted key parameters such as reservoir quality index, flow zone indicator, and hydraulic flow units. Additionally, two hybrid machine learning-based algorithms were employed to estimate permeability, with the results showing that the least squares support vector machines algorithm performed more accurately and reliably in permeability prediction compared to the conventional method.

Petrophysical and geomechanical characterization of the Late Cretaceous limestone reservoirs from the Southeastern Constantine Basin, Algeria

Rafik Baouche et al.

Summary: The study characterizes the petrophysical and geomechanical properties of Late Cretaceous Turonian and Cenomanian carbonate reservoirs in northern Algeria, identifying two distinct reservoir rock types based on their porosity and permeability. The reservoir pore-pressure gradient is slightly above hydrostatic, with a dominant strike-slip tectonic stress field observed. Recommending deviated wells in the direction of minimum horizontal stress orientation with hydraulic fracturing for optimal wellbore stability and permeability enhancement.

Integrated sedimentological and petrophysical characterization of the Lower Cenomanian clastic Bahariya reservoir in Abu Gharadig Basin, Western Desert, Egypt

Mohamed M. Elhossainy et al.

Summary: The Lower Cenomanian siliciclastic Bahariya Formation in the north Western Egyptian Desert is considered a main producing reservoir, with previous studies focusing on reservoir quality. This study aimed to outline the sedimentological, petrophysical, and digenetic characteristics of the formation, identifying five microfacies types and three types of porosities. Additionally, two reservoir rock types were discriminated, showing extreme heterogeneity and varied reservoir quality.

Petrophysical, geomechanical and depositional environment characterization of the Triassic TAGI reservoir from the Hassi Berkine South field, Berkine Basin, Southeastern Algeria

Rafik Baouche et al.

Summary: A comprehensive reservoir assessment of TAGI sandstones in the HBNS field in Southeastern Algeria was conducted, revealing valuable insights into the sedimentary environment and reservoir characteristics. The study identified two distinct reservoir rock types based on petrophysical assessments, with implications for lateral continuity and reservoir quality. Rock-mechanical properties and in-situ stress estimates provided further insights into the stress state and potential for reservoir depletion in the TAGI Formation.

Geophysical appraisal for the sandy levels within Abu Roash C and E members in Abu Gharadig Field, Western Desert, Egypt

Mohammad Abdelfattah Sarhan

Summary: The study focuses on the geophysical assessment of the sandstones in Abu Roash C and E members as potential hydrocarbon reservoirs in Abu Gharadig Field, Western Desert, Egypt. Analysis of seismic and well-log data revealed favorable zones for drilling in Abu Roash C and E members, with the former showing better reservoir quality. This indicates a priority for drilling efforts in sandy levels of Abu Roash C Member followed by Abu Roash E Member in the study area and its surroundings.
