Abstract The main objective of this study is to optimize the model for the Lower Bahariya reservoir in the Shahd SE field to propose the best development plan, maximize the production, and forecast the production behavior of the field via a dynamic model. The major problem was to build a conceptual model for the Lower Bahariya reservoir especially since the available seismic cube was not very helpful to extract seismic attributes due to the acquisition parameters. A conceptual model for the Lower Bahariya reservoir has been concluded based on the available biostratigraphy studies, formation image logs, and sandstone probability maps. The other major problem was to distribute the different facies of the Lower Bahariya reservoir without having a confirmed geometry of the sandstone channels based on the seismic attributes. The study tried to get the benefits of the geostatistical tools and algorithms to optimize the most probable geometry of the sandstone channels using the available well data. Many geostatistical tools are now available in market software. This study is a try to maximize the benefits of these tools and optimize the best techniques to get the 3D model for the Lower Bahariya reservoir in the study area. Histograms as a check QC tool for the structural model, upscaled logs, and 3D propriety models. Facies interpretation using manual and artificial neural network methods has been also emphasized. Also, the study displays the different types of facies and petrophysical data analysis and transformations |
