Abstract

This study examines the reservoir characterization of the Kenz oil field in the Khalda Ridge area of Egypt, specifically targeting the Alam El-Bueib sandstone reservoir from the Lower Cretaceous period. The analysis encompasses data from five wells, involving meticulous data editing, correction, and lithological determination. Density-neutron cross plots indicate that the reservoir is predominantly composed of sandstone, with minor constituents of siltstones and grey shales. The findings reveal effective porosities ranging from 5% to 36%, shale volumes between 9% and 36%, hydrocarbon saturations from 32% to 87%, and water saturation levels from 13% to 68%. Notably, the study highlights increased net pay, effective porosity, and gross sand toward the northeastern and southeastern sections of the field, suggesting favorable structural conditions for petroleum accumulation. These promising regions are identified as key targets for future exploration efforts, with the potential for significant economic petroleum discoveries that could enhance the region's energy resources.
