PETROPHYSICAl PROPERTIES OF SOME UPPER CRETACEOUS ROCKS, WESTERN SINAf, EGYPT"

Abstract

I he preserl study deals with equation ~,f the pelropbysical properties of sor^e of the Lpoer Cretaceous rocks from the Raha, YVata and MaUrlla Formations thai crop out afong the eastern shrnVder of the Gulf of Su^ i south western Sinsi], m the area located between latrudes '_!*"•1 1n' and 77\- c/f N and longiludes -33^ '2 and 33° £ For auch Mi?dtr. 44 representative block samples wt-re collected to siudy H>e different pe:ropnysical parameters Tor reservoir evaluation. Tie collected samplc-ii were fiirt into p:ugs of 2 5 cm diameter and 2lF~ cm length Several peUographic investigations includirg microfacies analysis, th n section-staining, X Ray diffraction and msoijole residue were carried cut. Afterwards, pctrophysicsl investigations i icludmg magnetic Tabix storage capacity properties clesl/rcal properties acoustics, and mechanic^ prsp^rties wore executeo
