Basin Modeling Using the Source Rock Evaluation and Oil Characterization of the Cretaceous Succession in West of Nile Area, Western Desert, Egypt

Esam A Abd El-Gawad, Mohamed Fathy, Mahmoud El-Sherbiny

The study area is located in the western side of Beni Suef Basin, between latitudes 29° 04’-28° 59’ N and longitudes 30° 53’-30° 57’ 55’’ E in the northeastern Western Desert which considered the most important petroleum province in Egypt. The present work deals with the geochemical evaluation for both source and reservoir rocks of the Cretaceous sequence in terms of source rock evaluation and oil-source correlation. The source rock evaluation was carried out through the geochemical analysis, which was based mainly on laboratory chemical and microscopic analyses of sample sets chosen from WON C-3X well, and resulted in a determination of the amounts and types of organic matter and their maturity
