Abstract

The WON-X field was found in the western area of Egypt's Beni Suef Basin, which is currently being explored and developed in the north Western Desert. Inside this concession, the WON-X field possesses a strong structural feature that makes it a prolific hydrocarbon producer. The West Beni Suef basin WON-X is one of the prospective sites that have recently been included in Egypt's strategy for future hydrocarbon exploration. Interpolated seismic data orientated NE-SW and passing through X-29, X-5, and X-10 faults, illustrating the different faults that affected the research area. The Lower Cretaceous, Albian Kharita Fm overlies the basement rocks in an unconformable condition. At the top of the seismic section, where the sediments were eroded differently until they reached the A/R E member, the ancestal nile was discovered. Increased knowledge of the Abu Roash (AR "G") reservoir possibility in the WON-X oil field has resulted from the study of seismic data in research. The RMS map can be used to identify the availability of hydrocarbons in the data as well as other geologic characteristics that are isolated from background features due to their amplitude response. Additionally, it illustrates the stratigraphic mud barrier that formed between the studies area's wells using the RMS map. The WON-X hydrocarbon oilfield is on a double plunging anticline, often known as an "asymmetrical anticline," as well as on normal fault lines. Maps of the AR "G" reservoir show that the middle of this anticline is a good place to trap oil.
