“…At 100% water saturation, the intersection of S w line with the horizontal axis represents a *R w . The crossplots revealed that the average value of R w is 0.32 Ω⋅m, which is consistent with the core sample data obtained from the Repsol company (Selim et al 2014). It was also discovered that the average value of m was 1.9 (slope of 100% S w line), which is consistent with well-logging data.…”

“…Murzuq Basin has several concessions with oil fields. In each field, some wells have been drilled to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the Cambro-Ordovician section described in the stratigraphic column (e.g., Mohamed 2016;Selim et al 2014). The "A" Oil Field is a part of the NC115 Concession, which is located on the Murzuq Basin's northwestern flank (Fig.…”

The Mamuniyat sandstones represent the main reservoir in the “A” Oil Field, NC115 Concession, Murzuq Basin of Libya. As a result, the primary objectives of the current work are to evaluate and define the Mamuniyat Formation’s petrophysical parameters using well-logging analysis. For this study, the available well-logging data from ten exploratory wells were provided. Several cross-plots were used to evaluate the lithologic constituents and fluid saturations in the form of litho-saturation cross-plots, and their output parameters were fed as inputs for Interactive Petrophysics (IP) software. According to the output results, the Mamuniyat Formation is primarily composed of sandstones with a few shales. These sandstones are generally fine- to coarse-grained, as indicated by the cross-plots, with a coarsening-upward sequence. According to the litho-saturation analysis, the Mamuniyat Formation is primarily oil-bearing with some levels of water-bearing sand. The petrophysical parameters derived from well-logging data agree with those derived from core sample analysis, demonstrating that the Mamuniyat Formation is a good reservoir.
