Abstract

Bed-15 oil Field which is located in the North-Western region of the Abu Gharadig sedimentary basin within the Egyptian Western Desert. Bed-15 Field spans across latitudes 29° 45' to 30 ° 05' N and longitudes 27° 30' to 28° 10' E and considered a component of the Badr El-Din Concession, which is situated approximately 300 km west of Cairo and around 100 km west of Bed-1 location. Abu Roach Formation is the subject of the research using a combination of petrophysical data, well log analysis, and subsurface geologic studies to understand the potential hydrocarbons in Abu Roach Formation, Badr 15 Field, using 5 wells (Bed15-1, Bed15-3, Bed 15-7, Bed15-8 and Bed15-9) different types of petrophysical parameters (porosity, shale volume and water and hydrocarbon saturations) were determined. Four wells (Bed15-1, Bed15-3, Bed 15-7 and Bed15-9) were selected for evaluating pore pressure of Abu Roach Formation utilizing drilling exponent (Dxc) and wireline logs. A correlation was observed between the pore pressure and the hydrocarbon saturation in the area under investigation.
