Abstract
Oil production decline for the Gulf of Suez, Egypt, is faced by increasing production from the western desert.<br>CreateceousJurassic inverted Basins play the major role in the recent discoveries in the Western desert.<br>The recent deepest oil discovered by IPR group at depth of 16000 feet is one of these inverted basins.<br>It shows excellent reservoir parameters and very good oil column.<br>Excellent 3D seismic data quality helped to infer an accurate structure model and calibration to the<br>regional structural framework of the area (Syrian Arc system) are the main contributors lead to the discovery.<br>This paper is a case history for true oil finder team and aggressive drilling company.
