【 摘 要 】

Abstract Petrophysical assessment of Facha Formation based on log data of six wells A1, A3, A4, A5, A8 and A13 recorded over the entire reservoir interval was established. Hakim Oil Field produces from the Lower Eocene Facha reservoir, which is located at the western side of Sirte basin. Limestone, dolostone and dolomitic limestone are the main lithologies of the Facha reservoir. This lithology is defined by neutron porosity—density cross-plot. Noteworthily, limestone increases in the lowermost intervals of the reservoir. Structurally, the field is traversed by three northwest–southeast faults. The shale of the Upper Cretaceous Sirte Formation is thought to be the source rock of the Facha Formation, whereas the seals are the limestone and anhydrite of the Lower Eocene Gir Formation. In this study, the Facha reservoir’s cutoff values were obtained from the cross-plots of the calculated shale volume, porosity and water saturation values accompanied with gamma ray log data and were set as 20%, 10% and 70%, respectively. Isoparametric maps for the thickness variation of net pay, average porosity, shale volume and water saturation were prepared, and the authors found out that the Facha Formation has promising reservoir characteristics in the area of study; a prospective region for oil accumulation trends is in the north and south of the study area.
