Abstract
The Western Desert of Egypt forms the most extensive geographic division of the country. It covers about 700,000 square Kilometers and represents two thirds of the whole area of Egypt. It extends 1000 kilometers from the Mediterranean shoreline in the north to Sudanese border and from 600-800 kilometers from the Nile valley in the east to the Libyan border to the west ( Abd El Halim and Moussad, 1992). Geomorphologically, it is a plateau of stone desert with numerous large and deep, closed in topographic depressions. The first commercial oil discovery in the Western Desert was the Alamein Field. In 1966, Phillips Petroleum announced the production of 8000 BOPD of 34.5° API from the Aptian Alamein Dolomite reservoir. During the drilling of the Alamein development wells, oil and gas shows were consistently noticed in the Abu Roash “G” Dolomite, Middle Bahariya and Razzak Sands reservoirs which started to produce oil in 1993. Yidma Field was discovered in July 1971, it lies 6 Kilometers southwest of Alamein Field and produces from the Alamein Dolomite reservoir.
