Implication

Petrophysical analysis reveals high hydrocarbon saturation and excellent reservoir quality in Nubian Sandstone, suggesting improved development strategies.

Key Points

The nubian sandstone in the Saqqara Field shows excellent reservoir quality with 78.5% hydrocarbon saturation.
A total porosity of 13.5% and low shale volume of 0.6% confirm the sandstone's potential for hydrocarbon recovery.
Advanced log analysis across four wells provides insight into reservoir characteristics and formation temperature of 147°C.
Estimated recoverable reserves reach 31 billion barrels, emphasizing the economic significance of the mature basin.
