The aim is to characterize the geological and petrophysical properties of the Mabruk Formation.
Developed a three-dimensional facies model using geological data and wireline log interpretation.
Conducted petrophysical analysis to evaluate porosity, permeability, and water saturation.
Identified three main facies within the reservoir: limestone, calcareous shale, and shale.
Porosity ranges from 0.12 to 0.28 with permeability up to 414 mD, indicating moderate to good reservoir quality.
Water saturation varies from 0.20 to 0.90, with lower values linked to better reservoir properties.
Estimated original oil in place is approximately 115 million stock tank barrels.
