Abstract:
This study utilizes well logs dataset and 2D seismic from Port Fouad marine (PFM) Field to investigate reservoir lithofacies, rock-types as well as the associated gas chimneys, pockmarks, bright anomalies of escaping fluids in the seafloor, and high-faulted zones caused by the chimney’s developments. petrophysical analyses revealed that the Upper Miocene Wakar Formation hosts scattered, thin gas pay zones (<10m) with low hydrocarbon saturation values, high water saturation, and high shale volume. These poor reservoir characteristics prevented accumulation of thick gas zones, thereby several gas escape features (e. vertical chimneys) are observed in the region. The 3D structural model reveals the presence of four major normal faults (F1, F2, F3, and F4) oriented NW-SE and WNW-ESE, creating grabens and half grabens. These major faults are directly related to the inverted tectonics during the Cretaceous-Paleogene compression (Syrian Arc phase). A link between these structural patterns and gas escape zones is proposed, and the absence of good reservoir facies likely promoted an active phase of gas seepage in the study region. In addition, such gas escape chimneys can create catastrophic events on the seafloor and are considered direct evidence for the presence of gas generation and failure in accumulation.
