摘 要:Lacustrine-fan deltas feature high reservoir-quality lithounits that are critical targets to hydrocarbon exploration and ***,depicting their intricate sedimentary architectural elements is still challenging due to complex stacking-patterns and limited *** this study,both 3D-static geocellular reservoir modeling and 1D-basin modeling approaches were combined as an established effective workflow that is capable of efficiently delineating reservoir-heterogeneities and confirming *** integration was for the purpose of unlocking the ultimate petroleum potential of fluvio-lacustrine units,Nubia Formation,in the southwest of the Gulf of Suez rift(West Esh-ElMallaha Concession,Egypt).Pixel-based stochastic-simulation was applied,constrained by an established depositional-model developed after adequate integrated-facies analysis,upon geocellularly modeling rock and fluid properties of Nubia reservoir intervals;utilizing several key-information scales(seismic-profiles,well-logs).The results reveal a lowstand-transgressive systems tract encompassing fluvio-lacustrine depositional-systems subdivided into eight facies-associations,of which fluvialchannels and deltaic mouth bars represent significant reservoir-quality *** efficient reservoir-quality,mouth sand-bars deserve special consideration,and testing,while running further oilfield development-endeavours and investigating similar-settings.
