Abstract
- This research uses both three-dimensional (3D) modeling and geologic well control to piece back together the architectural parts of the Late Cretaceous formations. The goal is to figure out the sizes, directions, locations, and controls of the layers of the fluvial sandstone reservoirs. Sequence stratigraphy is essential for 3D reservoir modeling and petroleum geology understanding in the Bahga oilfield. The purpose of this work is to create a static model that shows the layers and facies distribution in the reservoir interval. We will use data from nine well logs and 22 seismic lines calibrated by the Abu Roash G Member reservoir core intervals to accomplish this. The petrophysical study discovered three parts in the Abu Roash G Member reservoir rock: channel fill that is affected by tides, channel fill that is dominated by tides (intertidal sands), and channel top with lenticular bedded sandstone. The model's findings point to the existence of an NNW-oriented sand body, which could be a prime location to produce hydrocarbons. The original oil in place (OOIP) is about 3,438,279 Stock Tank Barrels (STB), and the oil reserve reaches up to 1,031,484 (STB). Sequence stratigraphic analysis using seismic and well log information (SB) reveals that the Upper Cretaceous AR/G reservoir of the Bahga field is characterized by third- and fourth-order stratigraphic sequences, which are constrained by three Maximum Flooding Surfaces (MFS) and two Sequence Boundaries. The integration of the derived geological model and sequence stratigraphic results can lower future extraction risk by identifying the locations and trends of the geologic facies with the necessary petrophysical properties for the hydrocarbon accumulations.
