Static Modeling and Petroleum System Analysis at Port Fouad Marine Field, Eastern Mediterranean, Egypt

Abstract

The off-shore Nile Delta is one of the most promising areas for gas exploration and production in Egypt and the Middle East. The present study deals with evaluation of the gas-bearing sand intervals at the off-shore Nile Delta of Egypt using the available geological and geophysical datasets. The data set comprise logs of 4 wells and 25 seismic lines that are selected from 3D seismic cube. The well logs also including pressure measurement and one well contains geochemical analysis data. The available data are analyzed to understand the structural configuration of the studied area using the seismic lines to study the possible reasons behind the dryness of some wells and for determining the different petrophysical and geochemical parameters that necessary for reservoir and source rocks evaluation, focusing on The middle to late Miocene sediments (Wakar and Sidi Salim Formations)
