Abstract

The south west Abu Sennan concession is located on the south of Abu Gharadig basin, Western
Desert, Egypt. The simple reason is that better reservoir characterization means higher success rates and fewer wells
for reservoir exploitation. In this research work, seismic and well log data were integrated in characterizing the
reservoirs on south west Abu Sennan field in Western Desert. The objective of this paper is to use the well log data to
determine the reservoir characteristics, fluid contents, evaluation of the prospectivity and hydrocarbon potentialities of
the south west Abu Sennan area and its importance in the development of this area. These petrophysical properties
were mapped and helped in the delineation of sweet spots for the reservoir horizon, which in turn helped, along with
other elements, in the promotion of the leads interpreted from the seismic data into prospects and they will represent
potential reserve additions in the study area
