Abstract

The present work evaluates the sandstones of Bahariya Formation in East Bahariya Concession at the northern Western Desert. The analysis of the available well logs data for two wells (EBAH- D-1X and EBAH- E-1 X) drilled in the study area reflects good reservoir quality for oil production in specific zones within Bahariya Formation. The applied cutoff parameters in delineating these zone intervals are;  Vsh<0.4,  PHIE  0.10, SW<0.5 and Calip-B.S.<+2 inch. Zones that passed all of these parameters together (i.e. reservoir zones) in EBAH- D-1X Well locate between depths; 6783 - 6786 ft, 6789 – 6796 ft, 6815 – 6823 ft, 6838 – 6860 ft and 6865 - 6900 ft. While in EBAH- E-1X Well the best reservoir intervals locate between depths; 6501 - 6506 ft, 6514 – 6528 ft, 6530 – 6536 ft, 6551 – 6560 ft, 6584 – 6586 ft and 6596 - 6614 ft.
