Soft-sediment deformation structures in the Late Messinian Abu Madi Formation, onshore Nile Delta, Egypt: Triggers and tectonostratigraphic implications

Mahmoud Leila et al.

Summary: The Upper Messinian Abu Madi Formation in the Nile Delta is a result of sediment deposition during the final stage of the Messinian salinity crisis. The presence of soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDS) suggests the role of earthquakes in causing liquefaction processes and deformation. Pressure disequilibrium is observed throughout the Abu Madi Formation, indicating the influence of seismic activity. The heterolithic nature of the sediments and lack of bioturbation contribute to the preservation of seismically induced deformation.

Implementation of lithofacies and microfacies types on reservoir quality and heterogeneity of the Late Cretaceous Upper Bahariya Member in the Shurouk Field, Shoushan Basin, North Western Desert, Egypt

Bassem S. Nabawy et al.

Summary: In this study, core samples of the Upper Bahariya Member were analyzed, and the rock typing technique was applied to characterize the reservoir. It was found that different lithofacies have different reservoir properties, with the first lithofacies having the best reservoir quality and the fourth lithofacies having the lowest reservoir quality. The reservoir was divided into five Hydraulic Flow Units, providing important information for exploration and production optimization.

Controls of facies distribution on reservoir quality in the Messinian incised-valley fill Abu Madi Formation in Salma delta gas field, northeastern onshore Nile Delta, Egypt

Mahmoud Leila et al.

Summary: The Messinian incised-valley fill sediments of the Abu Madi Formation are the most prospective hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs in the Nile Delta, where an integrated seismic-stratigraphic, sedimentological and petrophysical approach is applied to identify factors controlling reservoir heterogeneity. The study interprets two separate channelized systems reflecting flow dynamics and depositional energy variations, highlighting the impact of sedimentological and compositional controls on pore-scale heterogeneity and reservoir quality. Different reservoir rock types with varying lithological and compositional characteristics were identified, each displaying different petrophysical flow properties.

Provenance, depositional facies, and diagenesis controls on reservoir characteristics of the middle Miocene Tidal sandstones, Gulf of Suez Rift Basin: Integration of petrographic analysis and gamma-ray log patterns

Ahmed E. Radwan

Summary: The study focuses on analyzing the depositional environment and the impact of diagenesis on the reservoir pore system network of the Baba sandstone hydrocarbon reservoir in Egypt's south-central Gulf of Suez. Petrographic analysis reveals the significant physical and chemical diagenetic processes that have resulted in a decrease in primary porosity. The study provides valuable insights into how to overcome the lack of core samples in petroleum reservoirs, as well as interpreting the depositional settings and diagenesis control on reservoirs.

Diagenesis of continental tight sandstone and its control on reservoir quality: A case study of the Quan 3 member of the cretaceous Quantou Formation, Fuxin uplift, Songliao Basin

Qin Zhang et al.

Summary: Research on the diagenesis of continental sandstone reservoirs in the Fuxin Uplift, Songliao Basin investigates the influence of diagenesis on reservoir quality. Petrological characteristics and diagenesis were studied using various methods, and a reservoir space evolution mode was constructed. The results show that diagenesis has significant control over reservoir quality, with compaction, cementation, and dissolution being the primary factors. The study provides crucial clues for predicting sweet spot reservoirs and references for different diagenesis controls.

Modeling the Depositional Environment of the Sandstone Reservoir in the Middle Miocene Sidri Member, Badri Field, Gulf of Suez Basin, Egypt: Integration of Gamma-Ray Log Patterns and Petrographic Characteristics of Lithology

Ahmed E. Radwan

Summary: Understanding the depositional setting of siliciclastics reservoir is essential for exploration and development of hydrocarbon reservoirs. In this study, the absence of core samples in the middle Miocene Sidri Member in the Badri field was addressed by reconstructing its depositional settings using well logging patterns and petrographic characterization. The results indicated a diverse lithofacies, dominant porosity types, and three electrofacies that correspond to different depositional settings, providing valuable insights for similar hydrocarbon reservoirs lacking core samples.

Impact of depositional and diagenetic features on petrophysical and rock mechanical properties in Arab-D reservoir equivalent upper Jubaila Formation, Saudi Arabia

Viswasanthi Chandra et al.

Summary: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of multiscale geological, petrophysical and rock mechanical data acquired from 35 m of outcrop well core from the Late Jurassic Upper Jubaila Formation in Saudi Arabia. The study identified four main lithofacies types and discussed factors influencing rock properties and mechanical behavior, such as mineralogy, dedolomitization, and permeability controls. Despite reduced porosity, the compressive rock strength in the outcrop core was found to be lower than that of the subsurface equivalent rocks, indicating overall weakening of the rock due to telogenetic processes and surface weathering.
