Abstract | ||||
Abu-Madi Formation in Baltim Field, offshore Nile Delta deposited as fluviomarine environment which exhibits complex lithofacies. It is composed mainly of sandstone intercalated with siltstone and shale interbeds. Facies analysis and reconstruction of facies patterns for Abu-Madi Formation were performed using Log curve shapes techniques. Vertical profiles of borehole log data against sand intervals of Abu-Madi Formation define the history of deposition and the different genetic rock types. Three rock genetic types were identified indicating deltaic sedimentation. They are: 1. Braided stream, 2. Mouth bar deposits and 3. Meandering channels. These rock genetic types are considered as the main gas producing zones in the Baltim Field | ||||
