| Abstract | ||
| Shukheir Bay Field is part of the Shukheir Marine Concession located in the northern part of the Gulf of Suez. It occupies a total area of 22.5 Km2 . The main reservoir in the Shukheir Bay field is the Rudeis sands of Miocene age, however this study focuses on the lower clastic unit in the formation that usually referred to as Lower Rudeis Sandstone. The petrophysical evaluation of this sand zone was conducted using a complete set of open- hole well-logs in the available wells. The lithologic composition is identified as sand intercalated with shale. Seismic interpretation was deduced to determine the structural geometry for detecting the best localities for drilling developmental wells in the study area. The top and bottom surfaces of Lower Rudeis Sandstone were identified and traced in the whole area of Shukheir Bay Field. Depth structural contour map was constructed and the major faults were detected. 3D static model, using seismic and well log data has been done for proper optimization and development of hydrocarbon potential in Shukheir Bay Field. Seismic data were used to generate the input interpreted horizon grids and fault modeling. Petrophysical parameters (effective porosity, shale volume and hydrocarbon saturation) were distributed and mapped within the constructed 3D grid, using deterministic Kriging algorithms, while facies were distributed and mapped by deterministic facies modeling method. By integrating the results of all available data sets, this study recommends to drill development wells in the central part of the study area. | ||
