 Structural traps in the deep reservoirs of the Lower Cretaceous Kharita and Alam el Bueib as well as Middle Jurassic Khatatba formations are on the exploration agenda for the Abu Gharadig basin in the Western Desert petroleum province of Egypt. A new seismic and litho-stratigraphic interpretation made by SE Naukanaftogaz substantiates further development of hydrocarbon potential of the Alam El Shawish concession block operated by Petrosannan Co. (JV of EGPC and NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine Overseas in A.R.E.). Recently acquired 3D seismic dataset, parametric analysis of seismic wave field to predict spatial development of improved reservoir properties combining with drilling, well-to-well correlation of strata and petrophysical rock parameters coupling with testing results have enabled to propose a new stratigraphic and tectonic model of the area studied that offers an upside exploration prospectivity for several deep structural traps related to pop-up and drape anticline structures derived from wrench faulting and local structural inversion of the Abu Gharadig basin.
