Abstract

The Nile Delta basin represents a main gas production province in Egypt including Baltim Field. The current study is focused on the evaluation of Abu Madi Formation (level III) in BN-2 well, Baltim North field, Nile Delta Basin, Egypt. The qualitative and quantitative well logging evaluation techniques are used to detect the causes of low hydrocarbon potentiality and high water production from BN-2 well. The calculated water saturation values is about 40%, porosity reaches up to 16.5 %, high values of Bulk Volume of Water above 0.08. The lithology identification cross plots for this formation confirmed shaly sandstones. The grain size is detected as very fine grained using PHIE- SW cross plot. The pressure gradient gave a fluid density of about 1.12 g/c3 which confirmed the water content. The outcome of this study may be used as a useful tool in studying dry and water productive wells in the hydrocarbon productive fields.
