Hydrocarbon Reservoir Modeling of Taurt Field, Ras El-Barr Concession, Nile Delta, Egypt

Abstract

The Nile Delta basin is the most prolific, prospective gas and condensate province in Egypt. Nile Delta is the main gas producing province in the northern part of Egypt with approximately 62 TCF proven reserve. The geology and the entrapment mechanism of Nile Delta are still under discussion because the delta does not have any outcrops of old rocks where it is covered by the Holocene soils. The area of study is Taurt Field which located in the Ras El-Barr concession approximately 72Km from offshore in the East Nile Delta area at a fault block to the northeast of Ha’py Field and northwest of the Denise Field in 108 m water depth. The main aim of this study is to integrate the well logs evaluation,3D seismic data interpretation and seismic attribute analysis for constructing 3D static reservoir modeling including facies, petrophysical and saturation models and its impact on the hydrocarbon reserve estimation for sand reservoir units in the eastern offshore Nile Delta. This objective has been accomplished by evaluating well logs in Taurt wells (T-01, T-02, T-03, T-04 and T-05) for petrophysical analysis and facies discrimination of S10, S20
