AbstractThe present work describes and evaluates the reservoir quality of the sandstone of the Nubia Formation at the Gebel Abu Hasswa outcrop in southwest Sinai, Egypt. Hydraulic flow unit (HFU) and electrical flow unit (EFU) concepts are implied to achieve this purpose. The Paleozoic section made up of four formations has been studied. The oldest is Araba Formation followed by Naqus formations (Nubia C and D) overlay by Abu Durba, Ahemir and Qiseib formations (Nubia B), where the Lower Cretaceous (Nubia A) is represented by the Malha Formation. The studied samples have been collected from Araba, Abu Durba, Ahemir and the Malha formations. The hydraulic flow unit (HFU) discrimination was carried out based on permeability and porosity relationship, whereas the electrical flow unit (EFU) differentiation was carried out based on the relationship between formation resistivity factor and porosity. Petrographic investigation of the studied thin sections illustrates that the studied samples are mainly quartz arenite. Important roles to enhance or reduce the pore size and/or pore throats controlling the reservoir petrophysical behavior are due to the diagenetic processes. The present study used the reservoir quality index (RQI) and Winland R35 as additional parameters applied to discriminate the HFUs. The study samples have five hydraulic flow units of different rock types, where the detected electrical flow units are only three. The differences between them are may be due to the cementation process with iron oxides that might act as pore filling, lining and pore bridging, sometimes bridges helping to decrease permeability without serious reduction in porosity. The reduction between the number of EFUs and HFUs comes from the effect of diagenesis processes which is responsible for a precipitation of different cement types such as different clay minerals and iron oxides.
