“…In the October Field, to the southwestern offshore parts of the studied area, the Rudeis Formation consists of sandstones, highly calcareous shales, and argillaceous limestones. Its geologic setting has been studied in detail by Nabawy, Basal et al (2018), Nabawy, Rashed et al (2018).…”

“…The diagenetic processes in the reservoir rocks are the main and continuous control of the reservoir quality and its heterogeneity since its deposition till now. The diagenetic factors control both the petrofabrics and pore fabrics off the reservoir rocks, that is, they have a reducing or enhancing effects on storage and flow capacity of the reservoir and on its potential as a storage unit and controls its quality and its spatial distribution (Lai et al, 2017(Lai et al, , 2018Nabawy, Basal et al, 2018);Nabawy, Rashed et al, 2018).…”

“…For the carbonate grainstones and packstones, the compaction is much less effective due to the early cementation, which attenuated the pressure impact (Nabawy et al, 2019;Nabawy, Basal et al, 2018;Nabawy, Rashed et al, 2018;Nabway & Kassab, 2014).…”

“…The reservoir quality is affected and controlled by many factors, for example, mineral composition and diagenetic history. It is a critical and complicated issue that has been studied intensively by many authors (El Sharawy & Nabawy, 2016;Lai et al, 2017Lai et al, , 2018Nabawy, 2018;Nabawy, Rashed, Mansour, & Afify, 2018;Nabawy, Basal, Sarhan, & Safa, 2018;Nabway & Kassab, 2014). They studied the impacts of lithofacies and microfacies types, as well as diagenetic factors, on the reservoir quality of sedimentary rocks.…”

“…The reservoir quality of the Lower Miocene Rudeis Formation in the Gulf of Suez has been studied in detail for many decades (Barakat, El-Gendy, & Emara, 2015;El-Khadragy, Shazly, Ramadan, & El-Sawy, 2017;Gadallah, El-Terb, El-Kattan, & El-Alfy, 2010;Nabawy, & Barakat, 2017;Nabawy, Basal et al, 2018;Nabawy, Rashed et al, 2018;Sallam, Afife, Fares, Loon, & Ruban, 2019;Tewfik, Harwood, & Deighton, 1992;Zaid, 2012). The present study concerns the Aquitanian-Burdigalian Rudeis Formation in the offshore and onshore central province of the Gulf of Suez ( Figure 1); it is bordered by latitudes 28°45 ' and 29°15'N and longitudes 32°55' and 33°20'E.…”

The Lower Miocene Rudeis Formation has been studied in two surface outcrops on the eastern onshore of the Gulf of Suez at Wadi Wasit and Sarbut El Gamal localities and in the subsurface sequence of October oil field in the central part of the Gulf of Suez. A correlative study between the subsurface sequence and its surface analogs was carried out to assess the reservoir quality of the Rudeis Formation and the impacts of the lithofacies, microfacies, pore types and dominant diagenetic processes on its reservoir quality. The Rudeis Formation consists of a thick carbonate-clastics succession. The lower part consists of a cyclic sequence of laminated, fossiliferous and argillaceous limestone intercalated with mudstone, and sandstones. These units are unconformably overlain by alternations of conglomerate, coarse sandstones, and limestones. It is documented that the clastic microfacies have good reservoir quality in the October Field and poor quality in Wadi Wasit. This is due to the impacts of dissolution and fracturing diagenetic processes. The carbonate microfacies are impervious due to effects of cementation, mechanical compaction, quartz overgrowth, authigenic minerals, and micritization.
