Assessment of the Lower Cretaceous source rock using PetroMod approach in West Qurna Oilfield- Southern Iraq
...Show More Authors

The L. Cretaceous succession is the main reservoir rock in the south of Iraq. Although the upper Jurassic Sargelu Formation is the main source rock in this area; however, the organic-rich interval within the studied succession, is contribute in these huge accumulations of petroleum. The pyrolysis parameters of the succession; Sulaiy, yamama, Zubair, and Nahr Umr formations showed that the main kerogen type is type III and II with moderate to good HI, which they refer to gas and/or oil prone especially in Zubair, Nahr Umr, and Sulaiy formations. The quantity parameters indicate potential source intervals in respect to (TOC). The maturity parameters suggest the threshold and peak of petroleum generation, which Tmax values ranged around 430-450 ºC, as well as the Ro values ranged 0.5 to 1.0. The Maturity factors is enhanced by PI (0.1 -0.4), which the main values are located in the oil window.The software modeling, namely PetroMod, assigned a transformation ratio up to 90% in respect to Sulaiy and Yamama formations, while it is around 5-30 % for Ratawi, Zubair, and Shuaiba formations. As though, Nahr Umr is less than 5% of transformation ratio. These facts indicates that Sulaiy and Yamama formations are within the peak oil generation, however, Ratawi, Zubair, and Shuaiba, and Nahr Umr formations are within the start.The generated oil migrates up dip toward the dome of West Qurna field, but the existence of longitudinal and transverse fault system in the area may lead to accumulate oil in the directions NE and SW for the field.

Geological Modeling and Resource Estimation for Mishrif Formation in Nasiriyah Oilfield
...Show More Authors

Resource estimation is an essential part of reservoir evaluation and development planning which highly affects the decision-making process. The available conventional logs for 30 wells in Nasiriyah oilfield were used in this study to model the petrophysical properties of the reservoir and produce a 3D static geological reservoir model that mimics petrophysical properties distribution to estimate the stock tank oil originally in place (STOOIP) for Mishrif reservoir by volumetric method. Computer processed porosity and water saturation and a structural 2D map were utilized to construct the model which was discretized by 537840 grid blocks. These properties were distributed in 3D Space using sequential Gaussian simulation and the variation in

Formation evaluation for Mishrif Formation in Selected Wells from Noor Oilfield
...Show More Authors

This study aims at making formation evaluation for Mishrif Formation in three wells within Noor Oilfield which are: No-1, No-2 and No-5. The study includes calculations of shale volume and porosity, water saturation using Archie method, measuring the bulk volume of water (BVW) and using Buckle plot, as well as measuring the movable and residual hydrocarbons. These calculations were carried out using Interactive Petrophysics (IP) version 3.5 software as well as using Petrel 2009 software for structural map construction and correlation purposes. It was found that the Mishrif Formation in Noor Oilfield is not at irreducible water saturation, though it is of good reservoir characteristics and hydrocarbon production especially at the upper pa

Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Urban Soils of selected areas in Hilla City, Babylon, Iraq
...Show More Authors

       Modern cities suffer from heavy metal pollution due to urban expansion and population increase. Heavy metals have a great impact on human health. The objective is to determine the contamination level of heavy metals Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Zr and Pb at industrial and residential in Hilla city. The mean concentration of Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Zr and Pb enrichment factors of the investigated industrial soils are 3.43, 0.74, 6.45, 3.95, 5.60, 3.44, 1.17 and 11.44, respectively. The means of Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Zr and Pb in residential soils are 3.30, 1.09, 11.40, 0.94, 2.08, 5.39, 0.9 and 3.6, respectively. The I-geo mean values of heavy elements in the industrial area may be ordered in the following: Mn> Pb> Ni>

Mineralogy of Lower Diyala River Sediments Northeastern Baghdad
...Show More Authors

     The purpose of this study is to determine the mineralogical composition of Lower Diyala River, northeastern of Baghdad, and attempt to define the sources of sediments. 10 samples were collected from Lower Diyala River from the area between Himreen Dam to south Baghdad, where these samples are dealings by the heavy liquid to separated into light and heavy minerals. The light minerals contents are composed mainly of quartz, feldspars, and rock fragments. The main rocks fragments consist of; igneous, metamorphic, carbonate, chert rock fragments, and evaporites. The heavy minerals contents are opaques minerals, chlorite, amphiboles, pyroxenes, epidote, zircon, garnet, muscovite, biotite, kyanite, tourmaline, stauroli

Environmental assessment of heavy metals in surface and groundwater at Samarra City, Central Iraq
...Show More Authors

Urban Samarra City is characterized by high population density and wide variation in land use, has led to many environmental problems, for this purpose the environmental assessment became an urgent need for surface and ground water at study area. Three water samples from Tigris River   and six  groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for heavy metals  as Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cu, Co ,Pb, Ni, Cr, As, Mo, Hg, Al, Li, Be, Se, V, U, Sr. Most heavy metal concentrations have shown higher level than standards, such as  Fe, Mn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr, As, Mo, Hg, Al ,Li ,Be, Se, V,  that might be due to anthropogenic activities such as  agricultural and the heavy  use of fertilizers, besides other activities amo

Using of Index Biological Integrity of Phytoplankton (P-IBI) in the Assessment of Water Quality in Don River Section
...Show More Authors

       The multimetric Phytoplankton Index of Biological Integrity (P-IBI) was applied throughout Rostov on Don city (Russia) on 8 Locations in Don River from April – October 2019. The P-IBI is composed from seven metrics: Species Richness Index (SRI), Density of Phytoplankton and total biomass of phytoplankton and Relative Abundance (RA) for blue-green Algae, Green Algae, Bacillariophyceae and Euglenaphyceae Algae. The average P-IBI values fell within the range of (45.09-52.4). Therefore, water throughout the entire study area was characterized by the equally "poor" quality. Negative points of anthropogenic impact detected at the stations are: Above the city of Rostov-on-Don (1 km, higher duct Aksai) was 38.57 i

Investigation of Reservoir Flow Unit and Rock Types of Mishrif Formation in Amara Oil Field and Prediction of Performance
...Show More Authors

Amara oil field is located at south eastern Iraq in Missan governorate. The Mishrif Formation in Amara field is one of the most important reservoirs in southern Iraq. Identifying and characterizing petrophysical flow units are the key to understanding and improving reservoir description, exploitation, production and predicting the performance of carbonate reservoirs to represent them as combinations of different flow units, each with uniform pore throat size distribution and similar performance. Mishrif Formation in Amara oil field was divided into seven reservoir units (MA.MB11,MB12,MB13,MB21,MC1, and MC2) separated between them barrier beds. The present work is a reservoir flow unit identification for (MA) and (MB11) reservoir units of
