In order to build 3D structural model for Mamlaht Al-Kom
structure in the North Palmyride Chain, the potential reflections
were defined like Korushina Anhydrite (K.A) the cover, and
Korushina Dolomite (K.D) the reservoir, therefore the time,
velo
city, and depth maps for Korushina dolomite reflection were
constructed. Finally the 3D Structural Model for formation (K.D)
was defined. So that the hydrocarbon potential is discussed.
This Study focused on the lithostratigraphic properties of Mamlaht
Al-Kom structure, for evaluating the hydrocarbon potential of this
important structure. In order to achieve this goal, the time and depth
maps are constructed, through revaluating
and interpreting the
seismic sections, correlating the drilled wells, and appraising the
available well rock samples. The obtained data permit to ensure the
hydrocarbon potential of the K.D formation, because of its suitable
thickness, presence of cover, and source rock. On the other hand,
the entire shape of the structure is not defined accurately as all the
exploration wells were drilled along the axis North East – South
west. Thus these results should be checked by reinterpreting the
available seismic data depending on the geological and
lithostratigraphic data, and drill exploration wells on the axis North
– South to define the depth and structure of the reservoir reliably.
The available seismic data of Mamlaht Al-Kom field were reinterpreted in
order to define some petroleum potential reflections. The study focused on
Korushina Dolomite (K.D) reflector because of its properties that indicate α
hydrocarbon potential.
Therefore the time map of this formation was
canstructed, structure was defined and the hydrocarbon potential is discussed.
According to the obtained data, we ensure the presence hydrocarbon
potential of the K. D formation, because of its suitable thickness, availability of
cover, and the source rocks. These results should be verified by a 3D surveys
and then drilling operations.
