Abstract
Reservoir Characterization Using the Seismic Reflection Data: Bahariya Formation as a Case Study Shushan basin, North Western Desert, Egypt
Highlights
North Western Desert is tectonically subjected to various geologic events causing a structural complexity that largely affects the hydrocarbons potentiality
The drilling based on structural considerations led to many petroleum explorations, most of these oil fields in the northern province and coastal troughs were discovered based on structural traps, which most probably are productive
The process started with tying the geological control into the seismic data to find events that correspond to Lower Bahariya Formation (LBF) and Upper Bahariya Formation (UBF)
Summary
North Western Desert is tectonically subjected to various geologic events causing a structural complexity that largely affects the hydrocarbons potentiality. Such a complex framework is mainly attributed to the Tethyan Sea movement (African plate relative to Europe) which led to continued rejuvenation of old trend patterns along the preexisting zones of weakness (Meshref, 1982) [1]. The modern technology, as well as improvements in equipment and processing techniques give a hope for finding structural traps containing hydrocarbons. This may encourage further geophysical activities for solving some difficulties of geologic significance
