Abstract

Jeribe Formation (Middle Miocene) consists mainly of limestone, dolomitic limestone and dolomite, the upper contact of the Formation represents a surface that is unconformable with the Fatha Formation, while the lower contact is conformable with the Dhiban Formation, the present study showed that most parts of the Formation consist of shale content at a rate of less than (20)%, the Formation was divided into three porosity units depends on the variation of shale content and porosity rate and the unit Je3 is one of the best units in all sections of wells (KZ-18,17,14,13) while the unit Je1 comparatively has less petrophysical qualities than the unit Je3 and the unit Je2 In the two wells KZ-14,18 is similar to the properties of the first unit, while in the two wells KZ-13,17 it represents the low porosity units, and the porosity rate in the Formation ranges between (15-4)%. Petrel V.2014: was used to draw the three-dimensional model to show the distribution of the Lithology Formation of each unit within the Khabbaz Oil field, as well as to draw the porosity model for each unit of porosity to show its distribution within the field.
