Randomized trial assesses reservoir quality in Kafr ElSheikh Formation, indicating favorable conditions.

This study aims to assess the Kafr ElSheikh Formation's potential as a reservoir using various analytical techniques.
Conducted petrophysical, petrographic, and well-logging analyses on wells from the Taurus and Libra fields.
Employed the Winland pore throat radius (r35) method to determine rock type and pore throat characteristics.
Performed qualitative and quantitative well-log interpretation to evaluate reservoir quality.
KEF exhibits an average porosity of 29% and permeability of 819 mD.
Reservoir Quality Index (RQI) and Flow Zone Index (FZI) suggest good reservoir quality, with FZI reaching up to 20 μm.
Pore throat radii varied from nano- to mega-pores, primarily dominated by mega-pores, with minor impacts from diagenetic features.

Ali et al. (2026) studied this question.
