| description | Imperfect determination of petroleum system processes coincidence, entrapment and charge timing, along with reservoir heterogeneity can considerably cause high risks throughout exploration and development phases of petroleum. Therefore, a complete subsurface visualization of the petroleum system nature, elements and processes, is badly required. To this end, we corroborated, in this study, static reservoir modeling with petroleum system analysis workflows, to better characterize the Cenomanian fluvio-marine reservoir, sandstones of Bahariya Formation, at Bed-2 Field, Abu Gharadig Basin (Western Desert, Egypt). We used dataset of 2D seismic profiles and well logs of eight wells. The geometry and property of the reservoir were acquired performing static reservoir geocellular modeling approach. The geohistory, timing of charge, migration pathways, and accumulation sites were identified performing 1D and 2D basin modeling approaches. Combining both approaches was aimed at identifying new petroleum prospect areas, and estimating the hydrocarbon volumes, that are the need for such poorly-defined petroleum systems area. As indicated by the constructed, robust, reservoir and 1D-2D basin models, an additional hydrocarbon prospect, to the north central part of Bed-2 Field, is proposed to be drilled during the further oilfield development phases of the area. This prospect has all features that adequately lead to reliable inferences regarding the ultimate petroleum potential of the area. |
