Abstract

The BED-3 and BED-15 oil fields are situated in the northwestern portion of the Abu-Gharadig sedimentary basin. The Basin is ENE-WSW-oriented, and ranges in age between the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous. The presence of sandstone streaks in the Abu Roash “C" Member of the Abu-Roash Formation, which has a relatively high resistivity signature in the electric logs in most wells within these fields, is the primary reason for investigating its petrophysical parameters in order to describe the main characteristics of these sands and to assess their ability for hydrocarbon accumulation as well as production. The aim of this study was completed based on information from well log data from nine boreholes. The petrophysical evaluation of the BED3-8 well reveals approximately 87.4 % oil saturation within the reservoir rock, whereas the hydrocarbon saturation of the other wells in BED-15 is estimated to vary between 56.1 and 78.8 %. As a result, this study reveals that the BED-3 and BED-15 oilfields have a high probability of producing hydrocarbons.
