The Mauddud reservoir, Khabaz oil field which is considered one of the main carbonate reservoirs in the north of Iraq. Recognizing carbonate reservoirs represents challenges to engineers because reservoirs almost tend to be tight and overall heterogeneous. The current study concerns with geological modeling of the reservoir is an oil-bearing with the original gas cap. The geological model is establishing for the reservoir by identifying the facies and evaluating the petrophysical properties of this complex reservoir, and calculate the amount of hydrocarbon. When completed the processing of data by IP interactive petrophysics software, and the permeability of a reservoir was calculated using the concept of hydraulic units then, there are three basic steps to construct the geological model, starts with creating a structural, facies and property models. The reservoirs were divided into four zones depending on the variation of petrophysical properties (porosity and permeability). Nine wells that penetrate the Cretaceous Formation (Mauddud reservoir) are included to construct the geological model. Zone number three characterized as the most important due to it Is large thickness which is about 108 m and good petrophysical properties are about 13%, 55 md, 41% and 38% for porosity, permeability, water saturation and net to gross respectively. The initial oil and gas in place are evaluated to be about 981×106 STB and 400×109 SCF.

3D geological model for each reservoir unit comprising the Yamama Formation revealed to that the formation is composed of alternating reservoirs and barriers. In Subba and Luhais fields the formation began with barrier YB-1 and four more barriers (YB-2, YB-3, YB-4, YB-5), separated five reservoirs (YR-A, YR-B, YR-C, YR-D, YR-E) ranging in thickness from 70 to 80 m for each of them deposited by five sedimentary cycles. In the Ratawi field the formation was divided into three reservoir units (YR-A, YR-B, and YR-C) separated by two barrier units (YB-2 and YB-3), the first cycle is missing in Ratawi field.   The study involves 1 well in Luhais field (Lu-12), 3 wells in Subba field (Su-7, Su-8, and Su-9), and 5 wells in Ratawi field (Rt-3, Rt-4, Rt-5, Rt-6 and Rt-7), the Luhais, Subba, and Ratawi fields located in the Mesopotamia zone (Zubair subzone). The reservoir units (YR-C and YR-D) in Subba oil field, and YR-B in Ratawi oil field represent the major reservoir units that characterized by the best Petrophysical properties (the highest porosity, the lowest water saturation, and the best Net Pay Thickness), Luhais oil field has poor to moderate Petrophysical properties and low oil bearing in YR-A, YR-B and YR-C units, and produce heavy oil and salt water from YR-D and YR-E as indicated by low resistivity log reading, and according to the Drill Steam Test (DST) with the description of cutting in final geological reports.

Buzurgan field in the most cases regards important Iraqi oilfield, and Mishrif Formation is the main producing reservoir in this field, the necessary of so modern geophysical studies is necessity for description and interpret the petrophysical properties in this field. Formation evaluation has been carried out for Mishrif Formation of the Buzurgan oilfield depending on logs data. The available logs data were digitized by using Neuralog software. A computer processed interpretation (CPI) was done for each one of the studied wells from south and north domes using Techlog software V2015.3 in which the porosity, water saturation, and shale content were calculated. And they show that MB21 reservoir unit has the highest thickness, which ranges between (69) m in north dome to (83) m in south dome, and the highest porosity, between (0.06 - 0.16) in the north dome to (0.05 -0.21) in the south dome. The water saturation of this unit ranges between (25% -60%) in MB21 of north dome. It also appeared that the water saturation in the unit MB21 of south dome has the low value, which is between (16% - 25%). From correlation, the thickness of reservoir unit MB21 increases towards the south dome, while the thickness of the uppermost barrier of Mishrif Formation increases towards the north dome. The reservoir unit MB21 was divided into 9 layers due to its large thickness and its important petrophysical characterization. The distribution of petro physical properties (porosity and water saturation) has shown that MB 21 has good reservoir properties.

More than 6 million tons of the oil have been extracted in the Skybа Zone of the Ukrainian Carpathians. In particular, 4.2 million tons of oil (85.7% of total production) were obtained from the Yamna sandstones of Paleocene, which are characterized by satisfactory physical properties. Most of the areas of fields that exploited them are located in the Boryslav oil and gas production area. Among them are such oil fields as Skhidnytsko-Urytske (more than 3.8 million tons of oil extracted), Violeta, Faustina, MEP, Miriam and Ropne. Outside this area, oil was extracted in Strilbychi and Staraya Sol. At most of these fields, oil horizons are at a depth of only 100-800 m. The gas and condensate are extracted at the field of Tanyavа in the wing of the Vytvytska Luska of the Berehova Skyba, which has been torn off by the thrust. In addition, a very large number of natural oil and gas manifestations - direct signs of oil and gas potential - have been recorded in the Skyba Zone. All this indicates the potential prospects of structures within the Skyba Zone, including shallow ones. The distribution area of Yamna sandstones is much larger than the area of these deposits. The distribution area of sandstones of Yamna is much larger than the area of these deposits. It occupies about half of the area of Skyba Zone. Part of it can be considered promising, removing areas where of Yamna sandstones are present on the day surface, although, even in such conditions, they are in some cases industrially oil-bearing (Strelbychi oil field). Sandstones of Yamna are characterized by satisfactory reservoir properties., The calculated porosity and permeability reach the maximum values at known deposits: 0.182 and 130 ∙ 10–3 microns2 respectively, and the estimated thickness of 13.5 m. In the Folded Carpathians and, especially, within the north-eastern fragments (Beregova, Oriv, Skoliv) in different years performed a large amount of field seismic surveys. On the basis of the obtained materials, for the first time in the Carpathian region structural constructions were made on the reflecting horizons in the Paleocene (Yamna Formation) and in the Stryi Formation of the Upper Cretaceous. This article evaluates the prospects of these research objects. The Khodkiv and Osichnyanska structures of Berehova Skyba are recommended for conducting search works.

Geological modeling is very important in reservoir study, where it is described the framework of the structure and provided a distribution of petrophysical properties, the geological model helps to comprehend the fluid flow behavior affected by the heterogeneity of reservoir, also it is used to calculate oil initially in place and to choose the new well location in reservoir management. In this study, a geological model is built for Nahr Umr Formation based on data of 11 wells (SU-2, SU-3, SU-4, SU-5, SU-6, SU-7, SU-9, SU-10, SU-11, SU-13, and SU-14), including the location of wells, well tops, also contour map of the Nahr Umr Formation in Subba oil field is utilized. The structural model is constructed for the Nahr Umr Formation, which consists of two domes. The formation is composed of sandstone mainly interbedded with shale. The formation is divided into four units (B1, B2, C1, and C2) depending on well log data, each unit is divided into layers for getting better distribution of petrophysical properties, where unit B2 is divided to the number of layers is higher than other units due to its heterogeneity. The variogram is used as a geostatistical method to predict the petrophysical properties at unsampled locations, experimental variogram is calculated from well log data in a horizontal and vertical direction. The spherical variogram model shows a good fitting with the experimental variogram. Sequential Gaussian algorithm is used in distribution of petrophysical properties in a geological model which shows good petrophysical properties in unit B2 and unit B1, while units C1 and C2 are highly saturated with water.

This study on reservoir characterization was conducted using seismic data and well logs. The aim was to characterize the petrophysical properties and structural element in the field for hydrocarbon volume estimation and determination of infill well locations. Three reservoirs were identified (J100, K100, L100) at shallow, middle and deep depths and correlated across the field using gamma ray log. Petrophysical characterization revealed porosity ranges from 25 to 27% in J100 reservoir, 16% to 27% in K100 reservoir and 11 and 18% in L100 reservoir. This shows good to very good porosity values for reservoir rocks. On average, water saturation is 80%, 68% and 70% in J100, K100, and L100 reservoirs. Net to gross ranged from 24 to 77% in J100, 38 to 82% in K100 and 29 to 75% in L100 and L100 reservoir. Average net to gross revealed that the sands are cleaner with depth. Resistivity and neutron-density logs revealed the reservoirs are oil bearing. Structural characterization of seismic date revealed the presence of synthetic and antithetic faults. Depth structure maps generated revealed closures that are anticlinal and fault supported. Oil water contact super-imposed on the structural maps revealed closures that were oil bearing. Estimation of stock tank oil initially in place revealed 19.511 mmstb, 73.576 mmstb and 19.169 mmstb for J100, K100 and L100 reservoirs respectively, indicate that they can be produced at significant profits. Two infill well placement locations were identified from petrophysical and structural characterization; one at the north central part of J100 reservoir and another at the North-Western part of K100 reservoir.

     Shuaiba Formation is a carbonate succession deposited within Aptian Sequences. This research deals with the petrophysical and reservoir characterizations characteristics of the interval of interest in five wells of the Nasiriyah oil field. The petrophysical properties were determined by using different types of well logs, such as electric logs (LLS, LLD, MFSL), porosity logs (neutron, density, sonic), as well as gamma ray log. The studied sequence was mostly affected by dolomitization, which changed the lithology of the formation to dolostone and enhanced the secondary porosity that replaced the primary porosity. Depending on gamma ray log response and the shale volume, the formation is classified into three zones. These zones are A, B, and C, each can be split into three rock intervals in respect to the bulk porosity measurements. The resulted porosity intervals are: (I) High to medium effective porosity, (II) High to medium inactive porosity, and (III) Low or non-porosity intervals. In relevance to porosity, resistivity, and water saturation points of view, there are two main reservoir horizon intervals within Shuaiba Formation. Both horizons appear in the middle part of the formation, being located within the wells Ns-1, 2, and 3. These intervals are attributed to high to medium effective porosity, low shale content, and high values of the deep resistivity logs. The second horizon appears clearly in Ns-2 well only.

     The Yamama Formation includes important carbonates reservoir that belongs to the Lower Cretaceous sequence in Southern Iraq. This study covers two oil fields (Sindbad and Siba) that are distributed Southeastern Basrah Governorate, South of Iraq. Yamama reservoir units were determined based on the study of cores, well logs, and petrographic examination of thin sections that required a detailed integration of geological data and petrophysical properties. These parameters were integrated in order to divide the Yamama Formation into six reservoir units (YA0, YA1, YA2, YB1, YB2 and YC), located between five cap rock units. The best facies association and petrophysical properties were found in the shoal environment, where the most common porosity types were the primary (interparticle) and secondary (moldic and vugs) . The main diagenetic process that occurred in YA0, YA2, and YB1 is cementation, which led to the filling of pore spaces by cement and subsequently decreased the reservoir quality (porosity and permeability). Based on the results of the final digital  computer interpretation and processing (CPI) performed by using the Techlog software, the units YA1 and YB2 have the best reservoir properties. The unit YB2 is characterized by a good effective porosity average, low water saturation, good permeability, and large thickness that distinguish it from other reservoir units.

   Petrophysical characterization is the most important stage in reservoir management. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate reservoir properties and lithological identification of Nahr Umar Formation in Nasiriya oil field. The available well logs are (sonic, density, neutron, gamma-ray, SP, and resistivity logs). The petrophysical parameters such as the volume of clay, porosity, permeability, water saturation, were computed and interpreted using IP4.4 software. The lithology prediction of Nahr Umar formation was carried out by sonic -density cross plot technique. Nahr Umar Formation was divided into five units based on well logs interpretation and petrophysical Analysis: Nu-1 to Nu-5. The formation lithology is mainly composed of sandstone interlaminated with shale according to the interpretation of density, sonic, and gamma-ray logs. Interpretation of formation lithology and petrophysical parameters shows that Nu-1 is characterized by low shale content with high porosity and low water saturation whereas Nu-2 and Nu-4 consist mainly of high laminated shale with low porosity and permeability. Nu-3 is high porosity and water saturation and Nu-5 consists mainly of limestone layer that represents the water zone.

The paper shows the application of modern methods for studying the structure of combined oil-traps. Methods for determining the conceptual geological model of reservoir rocks are described. The examples of the complex-constructed deposits of the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye oilfield (Eastern Siberia) and the deposits in the basement rocks in the fields of Western Siberia and Vietnam are considered in the paper. The creation of a conceptual geological model is also necessary for the successful localization of oil and gas deposits and the identification of promising zones in complex non-traditional traps.
