Abstract
The Kom Ombo Basin is one of the recently discovered hydrocarbon-bearing basins, being located on the west bank of the River Nile, about 570 km southeast of Cairo, Egypt. The main aim of the study is to evaluate the prospectivity and hydrocarbon potentialities of Kom Ombo basinal area. Five horizons tops were picked in the study area, including Pre-Cambrian Basement complex, Neocomian B, Neocomian C, Aptian, and Albian/Cenomanian, by using 20 2D seismic lines. The depth structural contour map on top of five seismic horizons, shows two main fault trends directed towards NW-SE and NE to ENE directions, the former is the dominant one that plays the main structural role. Two main reservoirs are producing in Kom Ombo basin, the first one belongs to the Neocomian cycle and the second belongs to the Albian/Cenomanian cycle. Siliciclastic sandstone reservoir is the dominant type with siltstone and clay intercalations. The sedimentary section in Kom Ombo area includes several shale intervals. Among these shale intervals the Neocomian shale is considered the promising hydrocarbon source rock, since it is the oldest thick shales deposited during the Early Cretaceous time on the entire area of the Kom Ombo basin. It is buried at deep depths (>8000ft) in the troughs and had been affected by many tectonic phases.
