Abstract

Al-Hamd Oil Field is located at the western side of the Gulf of Suez. The Middle Miocene Hammam
Faraun Member of Belayim Formation and lower Miocene is considered to be a good reservoir in the study area.
The present work mainly deals with the interpretation of geological data to evaluate the hydrocarbon potentials of the
Miocene reefal limestone reservoir in Al-Hamd-2 well of Al-Hamd Oil Field.
Structural maps by GPC are constructed to study the subsurface configuration of the study area based on well-log
correlations and seismic interpretation. Wire-line logs, from the drilled well in the study area are interpreted for
petrophysical evaluation. Reservoir rock analysis includes the main reservoir parameters, namely the shale content
(Vsh), effective porosity (Øe), water and hydrocarbon saturation (Shr &Sw), and net-pay thickness..
Using the integrated subsurface and petrophysical evaluation, the hydrocarbon potential of the Miocene reefal
limestone in Al-Hamd Oil Field is determined.
