Abstract
Petrophysical Evaluation Using Well logging of the Alam El-Beuib Reservoirs, Shushan Basin, Northern Western Desert, Egypt
Highlights
The Shushan basin (Fig. 1) represents one of Egypt's most productive petroleum provinces in the north Western Desert
This study targets some reservoir parts of the Alam El-Buieb (AEB) Formation including AEB-3D, AEB-3G, and AEB-6 units with their known high hydrocarbon potentiality (EGPC, 1992)
This study is based on well log data from four wells (GEB-1X, GEB-2X, SHU1X, and APRIES-1X) representing two fields (GEB and APRIES) located in the western part of the Shushan Basin, north Western Desert
Summary
The Shushan basin (Fig. 1) represents one of Egypt's most productive petroleum provinces in the north Western Desert. This study targets some reservoir parts of the Alam El-Buieb (AEB) Formation including AEB-3D, AEB-3G, and AEB-6 units with their known high hydrocarbon potentiality (EGPC, 1992). The post-Paleozoic succession includes four main cycles of tectono-sedimentary sequences distinguished by unconformities, crossing to the Middle Jurassic, Lower Cretaceous, Upper Cretaceous, and Eocene to Miocene. Each of these cycles starts with fluviodeltaic siliciclastics and ends with marine carbonates (Sultan and Abdelhalim, 1988; May, 1991; EGPC, 1992; Shalaby et al., 2013a). The north Western Desert, where the study area is located, was initially formed mainly due to vertical movement of basement blocks that are dominated by parallel, elongated, tilted fault blocks, producing horst and half-graben structures associated with the erosion of the upthrown blocks (Shalaby et al, 2013b; Barakat, 2017; Mahmoud et al, 2019)
