| Abstract | ||||
| Nuqra basin is located in the south Eastern Desert of Egypt, on the eastern bank of the Nile River. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the Cretaceous sands, represented by Six Hills Formation, through the integration between seismic and well data. Structure contour maps show regional structures of NW-SE and NE-SW trends. The NW-SE fault trend is a dominant trend. Facies and petrophysical modeling have been made to study the facies and petrophysical property distribution throughout Six Hill Formation. The results of the current study revealed that the area has the necessary elements of petroleum system. Six Hills rock unit is mainly composed of sandstone with good porosities, up to 20 %, but the water saturation seems to be high. The drilled wells are dry holes. Some selected layers within the Six Hills Formation show locations of low water saturation. According to the petrophysical analysis results, prospects were selected in the area of good reservoir properties. | ||||
