Petrography and Formation Evaluation of the Bahariya Reservoir, Yasser Oil Field, Western Desert, Egypt.

Abstract

This study focuses on the petrographical and petrophysical characteristics of the Bahariya reservoir in Yasser oil field which is located in Khalda Concession between Longitudes 26° 57' 28" and 26° 59' 60", and Latitudes 30° 37' 54.85" and 30° 39' 27.63", about 80 km south of Matrouh governorate. Bahariya reservoir always considered a primary target in this area, about 80% of Shushan Basin fields are producing from it. The complex lithology of the Bahariya reservoir reveals a lot of secrets which tight the gap between petrography and petrophysics, consequently it could directly help researchers of both specialization for the academic standpoint. The location of Yasser field reflects its importance in rest of khalda ridge fields which are considered one of the most productive area in the Western Desert, these fields are a little bit similar but structurally compartmentalized.
