Sedimentary rocks containing a high
proportion of seaweed organic matter.

Transformations of this material being
not complete, shale are rich in Kerogen.

Heat and pressure transformed the
materials into Oil.
Reserves in Egypt
Safaga
Quiser
Reserves in Egypt
 Safaga and Quiser
 Contain 9.1 Billion tons
 Geological reserves: 2.3 Billion bbls

Nile Valley
 Very large amounts compared to Safaga
& Quiser
 Shale
Oil is more accurately termed as oilbearing shale.
 Oil-bearing
shale contains oil (and some
gas), trapped in relatively low permeability
rock, commonly shale or tight siltstone
limestone or dolomite.
 These
rocks have been buried deeply enough
to convert part of their kerogen into oil.
Reserves in Egypt
Reserves in Egypt
Khatatba Shale
 Contains about 114 billion bbls of shale oil
in-place
4.6 billion bbls can be technically
recoverable shale oil


Gas that is trapped in its source rock

Shale gas is characterized by adsorbed



Production Technologies
 Horizontal
drilling ( Multi-well pad drilling )
 Hydraulic fracturing

Low porosity and low permeability
sandstones

The pores are either irregularly distributed
or badly connected

In-situ permeability less than 0.10 md

Ultra tight gas reservoirs may have in-situ
permeability down to 0.001 md
Reserves in Egypt

Approximately 20 Tcf Gas in-place

Expected Recovery Factor is 25%

Recoverable Gas is approximately
5 Tcf
 The
gap between production and consumption is
increasing with time
 Unconventional methods:
EOR would increase the Egyptian production with
3.2 billion bbls
Oil Shale would increase the Egyptian production with
at least 2.3 billion bbls
Shale Oil would increase the Egyptian production with
at least 4.6 billion bbls
Shale Gas would increase the Egyptian production
with at least 100 Tcf
Tight Gas would increase the Egyptian production
with at least 5 Tcf

Conventional methods, alone, will
never plug that gap

Detailed studies are indispensible for
Unconventional Methods

Scientific research is important to bridge
the gap between consumption and
production
