Abstract

Conventional presentation of the petrophysical parameters in 2D can not elaborate understanding the characterization of highly heterogeneous and multilayered reservoirs. Consequently, these conventional methods do not precisely contribute towards a better understanding of the reservoir continuity and hydrocarbon trapping mechnism. Reservoir 3D-slicing offers a clear insight scanning and a good explanation of reservoir behavior. Therefore, it gives excellent information for geologists and production engineers to determine where they can drill the exploitation wells. 3D block reservoir is drawn using linear interpolation. Linear interpolation is used to estimate values of unknown points to cover the plotted area.
The objective of this paper is a study of the reservoir characteristics of Abu Roash pay zones in Tiba area, north of Western Desert in three dimensions. The results deduced from the interpretation of the reservoir slicing and cut-offs of the studied petrophysical parameters indicate that the hydocarbons are found in considerable quantities at the Southeast, South and West directions.
