This study explores the untapped gas potential in the Upper Miocene section of the offshore Western Nile Delta in Egypt, using Exploration Block 5 as a case study. An integrated analysis combining geophysical and geological methods was used by the authors. The researchers applied petrophysical analysis and advanced seismic interpretation techniques to explore the area.
They were able to pick out the key structural features, such as faults and folds, and outline possible hydrocarbon prospects. By using seismic data to delineate sand distribution and merge this with the structural framework, the paper was able to describe potential traps, seals, and reservoirs. The paper concludes by forecasting the likely hydrocarbon resources and geological success rate of the region. The findings reveal that the Western Nile Delta holds significant unexploited resources and opens up new avenues for further exploration.
