Reservoir characterization of the Lower Abu Madi Formation using core analysis data: El-Wastani gas field, Egypt

Assessing Land Deformation and Sea Encroachment in the Nile Delta: A Radar Interferometric and Inundation Modeling Approach

“…The locations of the production oil and gas fields that are in operation since the mid 1990s are outlined on Figure a (Dolson et al, ; U.S. Energy Information Administration, ). Most of the natural gas is extracted from Plio‐Pleistocene to Miocene age clastic reservoirs (Keshta et al, ).The largest gas fields in the Nile Delta mine the Abu Madi formation, a series of thick sands interbedded with thin shale (Kassab et al, ; Rizzini et al, ). Similar to the processes that initiate land deformation in high groundwater extraction regions, excessive natural gas extractions also change the pore pressure within the gas‐producing formations and ultimately result in subsidence (Doornhof et al, ).…”

“…Energy Information Administration, 2014). Most of the natural gas is extracted from Plio-Pleistocene to Miocene age clastic reservoirs (Keshta et al, 2012).The largest gas fields in the Nile Delta mine the Abu Madi formation, a series of thick sands interbedded with thin shale (Kassab et al, 2015;Rizzini et al, 1978). Similar to the processes that initiate land deformation in high groundwater extraction regions, excessive natural gas extractions also change the pore pressure within the 10.1002/2017JB015084…”

Sandstone reservoir zonation of the north-western Bredasdorp Basin South Africa using core data

“…The HFU is identified as a reservoir rock section with unique fluid flow characteristics at the pore scale based on similarities in petrophysical parameters (Amaefule et al, 1993;Mahjour et al, 2016). Diverse quantitative approaches exist to describe reservoir rocks and their petrophysical properties using empirical calculations from flow zone indicators (FZIs) (Amaefule et al, 1993;Kassab et al, 2015;El Sharawy and Nabawy, 2016;Nabawy and Barakat, 2017;Nabawy et al, 2018).…”

Implementation of a Petrographical and Petrophysical Workflow Protocol for Studying the Impact of Heterogeneity on the Rock Typing and Reservoir Quality of Reefal Limestone: A Case Study on the Nullipore Carbonates in the Gulf of Suez

“…The prepared thin sections were impregnated and dyed using a blue resin, to enable description of pore spaces. The samples were also stained with Alizarine red-S and sodium cobalt nitrate solution, to help in recognition of the alkali feldspars and dolomite, respectively (Kassab et al, 2015;Nabawy and El Sharawy, 2015;Nabawy et al, 2018).…”

“…In addition, these reservoir quality parameters are employed for the quality assessment and zonation of the studied reservoirs (Lai et al, 2015(Lai et al, , 2016(Lai et al, , 2018Kassab et al, 2015;Nabawy and Barakat, 2017;Nabawy et al, 2018). The reservoir potential index (RPI) is an additional parameter used to specify the rank of the reservoir potential, following the classification of Nabawy and Al-Azazi (2015) (Table 3).…”
