... Source rocks, such as, organic-rich shale formations have multi-scale pore structure with nano-scale features contributing to hydrocarbons storage. These hydrocarbons are divided across the organic nanopore size distribution of the source rock into fluids with altered properties...

... 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...

..., and the lithology of the target unit. The Middle East has several world-class source rocks that have charged giant and supergiant conventional fields, which implies many opportunities to develop unconventional resource plays. Within this study, the stratigraphic organization of two prolific source rock intervals...

... Abstract Organic matter in source rocks such as coal and shale hold significant amount of adsorbed gas. Laboratory methos are available to measure the gas amount stored in the source rock samples. However, adsorbed gas release from the organic pore network and its production using wells...

... stages were detected and showed different strikes. Second, petroleum system modeling technology was applied to simulate source rock maturation and gas migration, which revealed that gas generated in the Jurassic source rock migrated to the Cretaceous reservoir formation through faults activated...

... is constructed, characterized by "efficient hydrocarbon supply from gas-type source rock, predominant migration through fractured surface-nonconformity surface, and stratum- and mass-controlled accumulation", which has guided the 40 years' exploration of Ordovician Yangshuiwu buried hill zone and made a great...

... tectonic movement was dominated by the southern depression control fault, and the semideep-deep lacustrine high-quality hydrocarbon source rocks were mainly distributed in the south of the Huizhou Depression, such as HZ 26 Sag and the subsag of the XJ30 Sag. The braided river delta deposited from XJ30...

... Abstract The long-held view and general understanding on the source rock within the Upper Kutai Basin is that it comes from the fluvial-deltaic facies. This deltaic coals and carbonaceous source rock has been proven generating gas with oil in Western Indonesian tertiary basins...

... Abstract This paper documents the findings based on interpretation of the geochemical composition of oils from the Bualuang Field located in the western Gulf of Thailand, and how these oils compare with other oils and potential source rocks in the region. The Bualuang Field is located in Block...

... of hydrocarbons and sediments, the geochemical properties of hydrocarbon gas and potential biogenic source rocks were determined. 1D burial history modeling applying biogenic gas kinetics was conducted to determine the key parameters contributing to the Zawtika Field success case. Success case analysis outputs...

... of the South Atlantic margins has been employed to identify a regional source rock and kitchen areas, while depth domain seismic profiles have been utilized to reveal the true geometries of basin floor fans on either side. A model of an ultra-deep water basin floor fan play with its associated resource...

... were generated from clastic source rocks with algal input. Based on GC and GCMS profiles, the Manora oils are correlated to source rock extracts of lacustrine shales in the Malida wells. Existing well penetrations indicate the presence of over 2000ft (gross thickness) of source rocks with high Total...

Merawu dan Banyak Formation was interpreted as a potential reservoir, Cipluk and Banyak Formation as the cap of the petroleum system. Migration and trapping system through the toe...

.... The biodegradability coefficients of the different hydrocarbon classes were shown to follow always the same rules. In the present paper, we applied the dynamic version of this model. In addition to the compositional data, parameters provided by Basin simulators like expulsion history from the source rock, reservoir...

... to capacity rather than to structural spill points. Fill capacity may be limited due to lack of top seal or fault seal. Fields that are not filled to structural spill are often limited by trap capacity rather than by insufficient charge. Hydrocarbon phase in a trap is affected not only by source rock type...

.... Geochemical studies within the basin reveal Lower Cretaceous Mowry shale as a primary source rock. One-dimensional (1D) and three-dimensional (3D) basin modeling evaluation techniques of the Powder River basin petroleum system, in terms of burial, thermal, and basin evolution history, were attempted...

... with consequent exposure of the shelf/slope. It contains predominantly incised valleys and fluvial-fills flanked by interfluves. The hydrocarbon charge is expected from Cretaceous-Jurassic and Early Tertiary pro-delta shale source rocks (Marten et al., 2004). Evidence of highly mature thermogenic gases (2.0...

... Abstract Laboratory studies simulating thermal maturation of source rocks to generate and expel oil/gas differ from natural conditions. Amounts and compositions of products deviate between experiments and those found in natural petroleum source, carrier and reservoir rocks. Experimental data...
