Source rock evaluation and organic geochemistry of Belayim Marine Oil Field, Gulf of Suez, Egypt
Geochemical evaluation of Belayim Marine Oil Field using TOC and Rock Eval Pyrolysis investigations for a total of 19 cutting samples (9 samples covering (Nubia-B Formation) from well BM-57, and 10 samples covering (Nubia-A, B Formations) from well BM-65) was performed. Furthermore, geochemistry ana...

| description | Geochemical evaluation of Belayim Marine Oil Field using TOC and Rock Eval Pyrolysis investigations for a total of 19 cutting samples (9 samples covering (Nubia-B Formation) from well BM-57, and 10 samples covering (Nubia-A, B Formations) from well BM-65) was performed. Furthermore, geochemistry analyses of two crude oil samples from Wells BM-29 and BM-70, which are recovered from the Upper Rudeis Formation were performed. The BM-70 oil sample is recovered by Drill Steam Testing, while the BM-29 oil sample is taken from the flow output. Moreover, the oil samples were subjected to GC/GC-MS analysis (Biomarker) by StratoChem Company.
In general, TOC analyses showed that the Nubia-A and B formation sediments are fairly immature compared to good source rocks with very high Hydrogen Index indicative of kerogen type II. The geochemical investigations of two oil samples indicate that the Upper Rudeis oil of Belayim Marine was derived from a marine carbonate rich source, which is relatively rich in algal organic matter and has moderate sulfur content. The maturity of the analyzed oils (about 0.75% R0) falls short from the stage of peak hydrocarbon generation which is known to be reached at about 0.85% R0. |
