3D seismic data have become the key tool used in the oil and gas industry to understand the subsurface. In addition to providing excellent structural images, the dense sampling of a 3-D survey can sometimes make it possible to map reservoir quality and distribution of oil and gas. However, it leads to good results in some areas and deteriorates at others. Seismic attributes are typically applied in such a case for extracting more valuable structural and stratigraphic information. The old Nile Valley is passing through the area of study cutting through the shallow horizons and then filled with accumulations of the eroded sediments (the ancestral Nile fills), these fill masks of the amplitude and frequency of the seismic data at the deeper horizons, which include the main reservoir of the area. Seismic attributes can help to study these fills and then enhance the interpretation and decrease the uncertainties and risk of dry holes, The results suggest that the application of seismic attributes methodology integrated with structure interpretation leads to quite good predictions of prospects and leads, enhancing the development plan within fields and reducing the drilling risk.
