One of the important hydrocarbon reservoir targets in Midyan Basin, Northwest Saudi Arabia along Red Sea is deep-sea sandstone turbidites Miocene Burqan Formation. This study leverages well-exposed outcrops to comprehensively assess characteristics this formation. A multi-faceted approach integrating field observations (sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology) with detailed measurements and advanced techniques (photomosaics, LiDAR) was employed characterize heterogeneity, quality,...
This study investigates microporosity in an outcrop analogue of the Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) Arab‐D carbonate reservoir central Saudi Arabia, integrating facies analysis, petrographic and SEM data statistical analyses. At location Wadi Nisah, outcropping succession includes uppermost Jubaila Formation entire Member Arab which together comprise interval. The is composed eight lithofacies can be grouped into three associations based on their depositional environments. stromatoporoid...
Prediction of the reservoir quality oolitic carbonates is one main challenges for petroleum geology due to inherited heterogeneity in pore systems. This study investigated and characterized sedimentological, stratigraphic, morphological granulometric data outcrop strata Khartam Member Khuff Formation Saudi Arabia, including giant hydrocarbon reservoirs (Khuff reservoirs), results have implications exploration development. Linking ooid morphology sequence stratigraphy revealed that...
ABSTRACT Outcrop analogs are used to improve the characterization of reservoir stratigraphy, understand subsurface facies architecture and heterogeneity, overcome limitations associated with large inter-well spacing within individual oil fields. This study characterized modeled outcropping strata equivalent Upper Jurassic Arab-D carbonate in Central Saudi Arabia. The presents qualitative quantitative sedimentological petrographic descriptions lithofacies associations interprets them a...
