Abstract---The geological modeling of an oil-bearing reservoir, which
specifies the lithology and analyzes the petrophysical parameters of
complex reservoir, its being created using Petrel software to construct
reservoir models that describe and estimate porosity and water
saturation distributions. 3D modeling of carbonate reservoirs has
proven to be a highly effective technique for evaluate the economic
benefit of the reservoir by estimating the formation petrophysical
properties and calculating the oil reserves. The study aims
constructed on evaluated Yamama formation in Four drilling wells
(Nasiriyah-1, Nasiriyah-3, Nasiriyah-4, and Nasiriyah-5) entering the
Yamama Formation of the Al-Nasiriyah field. In Al-Nasiriyah Oil field,
and within the Lower Cretaceous Stratigraphic Column in the south of
Iraq, the Yamama Formation is one of the most important reservoirs
that deposited into shallow marine habitats throughout the
(Valanginian- Early Hauterivian) period, that made up of reservoir and
impermeable barrier units in the Al-Nasiriyah field, Yamama Reservoir
units are divided into three reservoir units (YA, YB, and YC), with the
YB reservoir unit subdivided into (YB1, YB2, and YB3) subunits. The
main reservoir units are separated by four sharp impermeable
barriers represented by (B1, B2, B3, and B4). Generally, the 3D
Geological modeling concluded that the YB reservoir unit represents
the best petrophysical properties reservoir unit represented by
(highest porosity, lowest water saturation) with an average thickness
of about (81.5-124.5 m) in most studied wells, while the YC reservoir
is moderately Good after YB unit more than YA represents the lowest
petrophysical Unit, where unit YB and YC represented Oil bearing
zones that product of Oil percentage strong oil with gas in some
intervals.
