This paper aims to shed light on Low Salinity Water Flooding (LSWF) as an emerging Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique with significant potential to improve oil production in mature oil fields. It specifically investigates the impact of LSWF on the Kareem Sandstone reservoir in the Morgan Oil Field, located in the Gulf of Suez (GOS), Egypt. The K...

Urbanization, which is a global contemporary issue, is rapidly growing in coastal territories with harmful repercussions and unprecedented land cover changes. Therefore, detecting land use/land cover (LULC) change is highly imperative for decision-makers to prepare and implement sustainable developmental projects. The present study attempts to asse...

Rock strength is an essential and effective property in the rock drilling, excavation, and cost evaluation. This work aims to examine a practical approach to evaluate the geomechanical properties that control rock drillability, such as uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) by utilising some petrophysical parameters (porosity and bulk density) and ela...

Monitoring sources of environmental risks from rising groundwater levels and associated soil degradation is a substantial challenge in coastal regions of the world. The integration of remote sensing and subsurface data, followed by field geophysical surveys, provided an innovative approach for identifying sites susceptible to environmental risks fr...

This paper aims to evaluate the reservoir quality and determine the rock type zonation in the subsurface Sidri and Feiran members of the Belayim Formation, in Belayim Land Oil Field (well 112-136), Gulf of Suez, Egypt. To achieve this aim, an integrated petrographical analysis (thin sections, scanning electron microscope “SEM” and X-ray diffraction...

Urban geological hazard assessment is considered a great urgency for Suez city to face hidden hazard from expansive clay soil with shallow groundwater level. •Geospatial qualitative and quantitative approach was used to integrate possible controlling factors for Geohazardrisk assessment in Suez city. •The factors were scored and weighted according...

The aim of this study is the integration of mud logging and wire-line logging data to detect overpressure zones in Kareem Formation (Middle Miocene), Ashrafi Field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt. The study is performed for the three wells Ash_H_1X_ST2, Ash_I_1X_ST, and Ash_K_1X. The prediction of the abnormal pressure is a quite important factor in the desig...

Petrophysical assessment of Facha Formation based on log data of six wells A1, A3, A4, A5, A8 and A13 recorded over the entire reservoir interval was established. Hakim Oil Field produces from the Lower Eocene Facha reservoir, which is located at the western side of Sirte basin. Limestone, dolostone and dolomitic limestone are the main lithologies...

The geological attributes, the nature of permeability barriers, and petrophysical properties are substantial for defining the different hydraulic units which do not necessarily coincide with the geological facies boundaries. The integrated study between facies analysis and classic discrimination of hydraulic flow units is very important to categori...

Ten wells (EW-4, EW-5, EW-6, EW-7, EW-8, EW-9, EW-10, EW-12, EW-13 and EW-15) were interpreted using the composite well logs, data of core analysis, gamma-ray logs, formation micro-imager logs (FMI), and 3D seismic data in SEGY format to understand the stratigraphy of the onshore, Nile Delta, Egypt. The amplitude analysis of 3-D seismic horizon sli...

Based on the available well log data of six wells chosen in the North Qarun oil field in the Western Desert of Egypt, the petrophysical evaluation for the Lower Cretaceous Kharita Formation was accomplished. The lithology of Kharita Formation was analyzed using the neutron porosity-density and the neutron porosity-gamma ray crossplots as well as th...

Based on logs of ten wells in the El-Wastani gas field, onshore Nile Delta, Egypt, petrophysical evaluation for the Upper-Miocene Qawasim Formation and Abu Madi Formation in the El-Wastani gas field was accomplished. The lithology of these formations was analyzed using cross plots of logging parameters, and petrophysical parameters including shale...
