Abstract
tectonic factors controlled the development of this canyon. More
exploration should be focused on these Pliocene channels.
The NW oriented normal faults are classified into three
groups. These are the gravity-driven growth faults affecting the
Pliocene-Pleistocene lithologic package, the faults affecting
only the Miocene units, and the faults affecting the whole
Miocene-Pleistocene packages. Faults of the third group
indicate the presence of a tectonic extension that accompanied
the northerly gravitational stress that caused the deformation of
the Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments.
Well logging analysis is also carried out for the estimation
of the petrophysical parameters of the Late and Middle Miocene
Wakar and Sidi Salim Formations to determine their
hydrocarbon potentiality. The net pay thickness in all the
studied wells ranges from 1.5 m to 16 m in Wakar Formation
and 1.5 m to 11.5 m in Sidi Salim Formation. The lithosaturation
crossplots of the studied wells help in the
consideration of the detected Wakar Formation net pay zones in
PFM-3 and PFM-DEEP-2R wells as potential economically
productive gas zones due to its suitable petrophysical properties.
