Empirical Investigation Of Wave Velocities In Bahariya Formation, Western Desert, Egypt

Abstract

In the Meleiha Oil Field, Western Desert of Egypt, eleven selected drilled wells were chosen to investigate the seismic velocities in the Bahariya Formation. The velocity-depth relations were studied and equated. The average velocity distribution in the area was displayed in form of contour maps for the Bahariya Formation and some dominant rocks in it. G-values as an heterogeneity factor were calculated and presented as contour maps and also as G-depth relations.
