Abstract

Sapphire Gas and Condensate field is part of west delta deep marine concession,

Mediterranean Sea, Egypt. The main hydrocarbon bearing formation is the Early

Pliocene Kafr Elsheikh slope channels. The principle purpose of this study is to

generate 3D geocellular model able to study the structure framework, petrophysical

parameters and facies distribution to understand the reservoir characterization

distribution and locating a new prospecting locations in the sapphire field. Early

Pliocene Kafr Elsheikh slope channels has been subdivided into four members;

Sapphir-40,60,70 and 80 channels from top to bottom. Both facies and their

petrophysical parameters have been populated into structure model, which has

helped in demonstration of the variation in the reservoir properties, and will help in

optimizing the choices for the further exploration and developments.
