The Nukhul Formation in Abu Rudeis Marine Field is regarded as one of the most important oil production reservoirs in the Gulf of Suez. Abu Rudeis Marine Field is an oil producing field located on the eastern side of the Gulf of Suez. The present study deals with the petrophysical examination of Nukhul Formation in Abu Rudeis Marine Field by using well logging data for four wells. The studied formation was classified into three units (A, B, C) according to the hydrocarbon potentiality. The lithology of three units was examined using logging parameter cross plots, and petrophysical parameters such as shale volume, effective porosity, and water saturation were calculated. The neutron/density and lithosaturation cross plots reveal that the main lithology of the three units are sandstone with shale intercalations and sometimes limestone at the lower part of Nukhul Formation for example ARM-21 well, in addition to Thomas Stieber cross plot for the shale type investigation was applied. The qualitative interpretation of the well logging data for the investigated wells identified three intervals with good petrophysical parameters and the capacity to store and produce oil.
Abu Rudeis海上油田Nukhul组被认为是苏伊士湾最重要的产油层之一。Abu Rudeis海上油田是位于苏伊士湾东侧的一个油田。利用4口井的测井资料，对Abu Rudeis海相油田Nukhul组进行了岩石物理检查。根据含油气潜力，将储层划分为A、B、C三个单元。利用测井参数交叉图对三个单元的岩性进行了研究，并计算了页岩体积、有效孔隙度和含水饱和度等岩石物理参数。中子/密度和岩石饱和度交叉图显示，三个单元的主要岩性为砂岩，夹层为页岩，有时在Nukhul组下部为灰岩，例如ARM-21井，此外还应用了Thomas Stieber交叉图进行页岩类型调查。通过对所研究井测井资料的定性解释，确定了三个具有良好岩石物性参数和储采能力的层段。

Biofuels are expected to play a vital role in decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and facilitating the progressive transition from fossil fuels, resulting in low-carbon, high-sustainability fuels. The inclusion of biofuel sources into conventional petroleum refineries is gaining interest due to the increased crude oil prices, environmental concerns, and the necessity to maintain an energy supply. Processing alternative feedstocks would not necessitate substantial capital investments because refineries already have a well-established infrastructure for creating fuels and basic chemicals. There are several technological obstacles when converting bio-oil to transportation fuel on a large scale. The sensitivity analysis was used to confirm the improved simulation result, then compared to an experimental result from the literature. The effect of reactor temperature on feed conversion and product yield, mainly naphtha, light cycle oil (LCO), and fuel gas, was investigated. Furthermore, the effectiveness of various algae-hydrothermal liquefaction (AHTLO) mix ratios with VGO, ranging from 5, 10, and 15 wt%, was investigated. Moreover, a study was conducted on optimizing riser output temperatures and feed mass ratios to maximize the total naphtha and LCO or naphtha and LPG output and increase the production capacity. It was found that as the ratio of AHTLO increased, the conversion of all products and fuel gas yield decreased while the LCO increased. However, there was no discernible variation in the ratio of Naphtha.

The petroleum system elements that include source rocks, paths of hydrocarbon migration, reservoirs types, hydrocarbon traps, and seal rocks are essential in characterizing the hydrocarbon accumulation in the sedimentary basins. However, each part of these elements may be of different age and formed in different environment but these elements must meet in space and time in one petroleum system. The available well log and core data for some wells in the Amana oil field were used to perform a comprehensive petrophysical evaluation of the Abu Roach G Member. The evaluation of petroleum system elements in the Amana field shows that the source rock is the Middle Jurassic Khatatba Formation, which was deposited in a transitional environment. It comprises an oil and gas-prone organic matter (type II/III kerogen), that is believed to have entered the oil window defined by 0.6% vitrinite reflectance (Ro). The Interpretation of the available log data was used to evaluate the penetrated rock units in Amana field. The middle zone of the Abu Roash G Member which is sealed laterally at the top by shale intercalations in the Abu Roash G Member and by the Abu Roash F massive carbonates in other areas.

Underground mining of ores affects in-situ rock conditions, resulting in a sequence of strata motions. Roof rock pressure, which is the basis of all ground control issues, is caused by these instabilities. The hydraulic supports are subjected to excessive stress due to the roof rock pressure. The correct forecast of Rock Roof Loading (RRL) provides longwall face stability during ore exploitation, allowing the hydraulic supports to move more freely. This paper presents some of the current theories, approaches, and concepts for the determination of roof loading on longwall faces, with emphasis on the current gaps. This could improve the ability to manage the roof during mining workings, and govern the roof loading conditions and the supporting system. From this study, it can be seen that the periodic weighting of the main roof is an important aspect in the determination of loading requirements. Moreover, many loading calculation methods failed to take into consideration the swelling pressure of immediate roof rocks, and the tilting of the main roof blocks, which exert excessive loads on the supporting systems.

Petroleum consumption increases around the world and production of conventional reservoirs can’t cover the increased demand. So, producing unconventional resources is an imperative necessity. Unconventional resources are characterized by very low permeability. Drilling horizontal wells in these resources and completed them with multiple hydraulic fractures make the reservoir. Hydraulic fractures work as paths for hydrocarbon to flow toward the wellbore to achieve an economic production rate. Production behaviour of these wells is characterized by long-term transient flow followed by boundary-dominated flow. Many decline curve analysis models have been developed to simulate this behaviour, but none of them can capture all flow-regime types. This paper reviewed the most popular and used decline curve analysis models: Arps model, power-law exponential model, stretched exponential production decline model, T-model, logistic growth model, Duong model, Yu-Miocevic model and extended exponential decline curve. This paper summarized the origins, derivations and assumptions of these eight models. This paper also presents a comparative study of these models using production data from unconventional gas and oil reservoirs. To facilitate conducting this study, the eight decline curve analysis models were programmed in a software application written in python language. This software application calibrated models’ parameters to production data using trust region reflective algorithm. The value of estimated ultimate recovery predicted using this software application is consistent with that predicted using the linear flow analysis model. The comparative study can serve as a guideline for petroleum engineers to determine when to use each model.

Comminution tests are a vital element in the proper design of mineral processing plants. Several grindability tests have been developed over the years for different applications and each test has its strengths and weaknesses. Among test methodologies considered, is the universally accepted high-pressure grinding roller (HPGR) test procedures based on small-scale tests. The present work has been carried out to compare the grinding characteristics of different ore minerals. It was observed that all tested minerals, (quartz, chromite, marble, hematite, magnesite, dolomite) showed a general similar trend while being compressed. Moreover, because those minerals have wide differences in their mineralogical, physical, and mechanical properties they have different comminution behaviour under compression. The consumed energy as well as the reduction ratios are affected by the mineral hardness. The percentage product at a certain cut-size was found to be proportional to the expended energy for each mineral. A convenient grindability index under compression has been suggested as the specific productivity, in ton/kWh. This index is quite sensitive to the material hardness.

Most of field development plans need a countable simulation model. Simulation models are considered dependable when they match all aspects of the field’s history -performance. This is achieved by matching pressure data and production phases of oil, water and gas production and injection. Many factors affect the process of history match. The most important factor is the relative permeability, which affects the partial flow of fluid phases through rock conduits. Measuring relative permeability and adjusting it to be included in simulation model is our focus in this work. Field ’X’ is in our interest in this study. The field is under of water flooding implementation. After water-floodi ng project has been started, field ‘X’ suffered from high water cut (W.C) rates in large oil producers and low oil production rates. This urged to restudy the field and consequently we needed to build a full simulation model with a proper history-match. Special Core Analysis test with unsteady-state displacement experiment for relative permeability measurement has been performed for well ‘X - 4’. In this paper, we will show you how to process relative permeability data and adjust them to be introduced into simulation model to achieve a good history match performance.

Herein, a package of 2D reflection seismic lines of good quality set is ordinarily interpreted to disclose the structure controls of the Shorouk field, in the North Western Desert of Egypt. The geological and geophysical information are helped to facilitate creating a number of maps and cross sections that clarify the tectonic fabric. The study focuses attention on tops of the Lower and Upper Bahariya members which act as major hydrocarbon reservoirs in Shushan basin. The seismic reflection interpretation aims to review and bring insight into the basin architecture, which may increase the chances for developing and/or exploring the entrapments. The work steps involve identification, picking and correlation of reflectors, closing loops, fault detection, constructing geo-seismic cross sections, time, and depth structural maps. The reservoir quality was confirmed through constructing the correlation charts between wells. The results indicate that the Shorouk field lies on a fault-bounded high feature. The structure at Bahariya Formation is affected by an anticlinal horst, cut across the central area in the WNW-direction, and bounded by normal faults down-step to the north and south.

The current work focuses on integration of seismic and well log data for evaluating the Upper Abu Roash “G” Sand Member, in West of Nile-X oil field. A comprehensive petrophysical evaluation was performed for Abu Roash G reservoir. The estimated petrophysical parameters of the reservoir in the study area for the Upper Abu Roash”G” Sand Member range between about 17 % and 22 % for the effective porosity, and range between about 5 % and 15 % for shale volume, and range between about 18 % and 79 % for Water saturation. All of These results show that the Upper Abu Roash ”G” Sand Member in this field deem as a good reservoir with high potential for oil production and the cumulative stock tank of original oil in place estimate for the study area is 27 Million Stock Tank Barrel. Depth structure map shows an elongated asymmetrical double plunging anticlinal has an axis of NNE-SSW trend with a steep dip value in the eastern part and a gentle dip in the western part of the study area, which formed petroleum traps in the crest of the study area. The study results show that the Upper Abu Roash ”G” Sand Member has a promosing reservoir characterization.
