... The main goal of this study is to highlight observed trends of the thermal maturity of Lower Paleozoic Source Rocks, and to discuss the primary causes for these trends within a smaller section of the Western Gulf Basin ( Fig. 1 ). Burial history and heat flow modeling were utilized in this study...

... source rocks, and there are multiple mature laminated shale/sand oil reservoirs. To characterize the quality of shale oil, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and elemental and conventional logging methods are used in this area. These logging evaluation methods are all aimed at the evaluation of total...

... with differing properties. Oils with lower saturated hydrocarbon content evidently originate from carbonate-rich source rocks, predominantly marine algae organic matter, with an older sedimentary age and lower maturity. In contrast, oils with higher saturated hydrocarbon content largely derive from marine...

... potential and determine the maturity of the samples. The core samples collected from the wells were ensured to have no contact with any oil-based circulation fluids. the nonorganic carbons were acidized using HCl to be removed. S1 was determined to be the free hydrocarbon and the similar compounds...

... An intrashelf depo-center hosts the Jurassic carbonate source rock, which contains one of the richest hydrocarbon producing source rock intervals in the world. The understanding of kerogen distribution and maturity across this frontier unconventional basin is key for focused prospectivity...

.... The timing, maturity, and generation of hydrocarbon in the basin source rock were determined using these models. Basic inputs for the analyses were derived from integrated sequence stratigraphy-based geological studies performed using seismic and well log data. The 1D thermal and burial history model, based...

... GIP reserves ranging wildly from 45 to >200 bcf/section. Despite the positive initial production numbers, the Kaybob area has a complex geological and stratigraphic framework that needs to be understood. Thermal maturity of the organic matter in the Duvernay Formation ranges from immature...

Fine-grained reservoir types comprise 'shale-oil' reservoirs at lower thermal maturities and pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions to 'shale-gas' reservoirs at higher maturities and P-T conditions. These fine...

... results from a variety of advanced laboratory analytical techniques with stratigraphic models that enable mapping of key play parameters. Geochemical analysis of core and cuttings is used to determine organic matter type, richness, and thermal maturity, from which hydrocarbon yields and fluid properties...

.... The results of thermal model integrated with geochemical well data (CO2 and gas maturity) show that the heating better correlates with seismic basement and allow to define the positioning of the organic matter level. A terrestrial source rock can be located in the shallower part of the Eocene/Oligocene...
