Given useful rock properties, gas sands generally appear as bright events on seismic data. Unfortunately, partially saturated gas sands tend to be of similar brightness to fully saturated gas sands so cannot be distinguished easily. Seismic inversion can sometimes help, given adequate seismic data and a robust understanding of rock physics.

This study aims to highlight the hydrocarbon potential of Abu Roash F Formation, which stands for high organic content unconventional tight reservoirs, and Abu Roash G Formation which stands for conventional sand reservoirs, in Sitra field located in the central-western part of the Abu EL-Gharadig Basin. The research employed well-log data from four wells to ascertain petrophysical properties combined with core samples of two wells for a comprehensive examination and description of lithology.

Consequently, this study employed an intricate approach, constructing detailed 3D geostatic models by amalgamating diverse datasets, including 2D seismic sections and digital well-logs. The focus of these 3D models was on the Khatatba Formation (Upper-Safa Member, Kabrit Member, and Lower-Safa Member) in Matruh-Shushan Basin in the North Western Desert.

Therefore, the present research evaluates Abu Madi and Qawasim Formations and defines the petrophysical parameters for them using various data from five wells composed of wireline logs (gamma-ray, density, neutron, sonic, resistivity), core data, pressure data, and cross-plots. In the current study, the formations of the main reservoirs were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively based on the petrophysical analysis to assess the production potential.

This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of a novel polyketimine (PKI) membrane obtained by condensing partially of different weight percentages of oxidized polyvinyl alcohol and aminated polyether sulfone. Using the PKI membrane as a scaffold, we introduced laser-induced graphene electrodes (LIGEs) for the efficient electrochemical sensing of paracetamol (PCM), which serves as a model drug.

The as-prepared materials were applied as flexible electrodes for microsupercapacitors. The doping of amPES membranes with various weight percentages of carbon black (CB) microparticles was then performed to improve their energy storage performance.
