Quantitative Seismic Interpretation and Reservoir Characteristics of Ha’py Field, Nile Delta, Egypt

Abstract

The delta lies on the northern margin of the African Plate, which is being subducted between the sediments deposited by the Nile, and Cyprus .The Nile Delta basin is an integrated tectonic province within the regional tectonic framework of Northern Egypt. As part of the Nile Delta, the study area is located in the eastern offshore part of the Nile Delta, Egypt, in 80 m of water (about 40 km of Ras El Barr Point). The Ha’py Field, being the largest field yet discovered in the Pliocene Trend, features a somewhat more complicated trapping configuration. The primary reservoir (A20 sand) is not a single sand, but a package of sands deposited by shoreface environment. A20 sand package was deposited in a structural graben, formed through a complicated interaction of deep deformation of the Temsah - Akhen structure and differential loading during Pliocence deposited. So, the purpose of this work is the studying the reservoir characteristics of A20 reservoir and identifying the depositional elements of these reservoirs by integrating different types of data such as seismic, cores and well logs. The present work concerns with; Firstly, understanding the stratigraphy, depositional facies, tectonic and structural evolution of the study area. Secondly, evaluating the petrophysical properties
