Abstract Port Fouad marine field covers an offshore concession with total coverage area 144 kilometer square, it is lies to the north direction from Port Fouad city and far from shoreline about 36.54 kilometers. The study area lies between the latitudes 31°43” 58’.40 and 31° 24” 59’.25 N and longitude 32° 18” 01’.72 and 32° 36” 57’.37 E, in an area with 26 m water depth. The present study, deals with the evaluation of subsurface geology and hydrocarbon potentialities of the Wakar Formation (Late Miocene age). To achieve the purposes of the present study, twelve boreholes have been selected from Port Fouad marine field which scattered over the study area. The raw logging data of the selected twelve wells were subjected to a comprehensive log analysis using Tech-log software, as well as the core data for PFM-3 well has been used to characterize the petrophysical and sedimentological properties of the Wakar Formation. The integration of core data and NMR data give a great evidence for the presence of a good porosity and permeability values inside tight zones and confirmed with the effective porosity derived from normal logging tools. By applying the conventional log tools, as well as using of some cross plots techniques, the Wakar Formation can divided into four petrophysical zones S-0, S-1, S-2 and S-3. NMR and resistivity anisotropy showing the presence of sandstone streaks (thin lamina) with a good permeability surprisingly against shale intervals, with average permeability (2.5 mD), with average Sw = 65%, oil base mud image (OBMI) used to confirm the presence of those streaks with a good match between them and NMR response. |
