the petroleum potential of the seyahou (ordovician) and sarchahan (lower silurian) formations in northern bandar abbas has not been investigated sufficiently. these sediments crop out as thinly laminated shales and are about 100 meters thick. a number of thirty-five selected samples were subjected to rock-eval pyrolysis followed by transmitted, reflected and uv light microscopy together with cl...

Depositional environment and source potential of the different organic-rich levels of Devonian age (up to 990m thick) from the onshore EC-1 well (Southern Tunisia) were investigated based on the analysis of more than 130 cutting samples by different geochemical techniques (Rock-Eval pyrolysis, GC-MS). The obtained results including Rock Eval Pyrolysis data and biomarker distribution (terpanes, ...

In the this research, the hydrocarbon generation potential of the Gadvan Formation as a probable source rock was investigated in the central part of the Persian Gulf at the borders of Iran. Type and maturity level of kerogen were investigated in six wells using the results of Rock-Eval pyrolysis and compared with results yielded by the modelling software program known as Pars Basin Modeler (PBM...

The major goal of this study is the evaluation of the source rock of Ogaden Basin using Rock-Eval Pyrolysis, Vitrinite reflectance (%Ro), and well log data of the Permo-Triassic and the Mesozoic sequences including Karro, Hamanlei, and Urandab Formations. Burial history and level of thermal maturity of the Bodle-1 well, the Calub-1 well and the Hilala-2 well were modeled based on the calibratio...

The paper reports comprehensive analysis of different factors affecting uranium content in oil source rocks and the relationship between productivity rocks. data for 13 wells Bazhenov Formation (Western Siberia, Russia) was carried out. measured by gamma-ray spectrometry on core samples. In order to analyze accumulation rocks, we studied characteristics organic matter (Rock-Eval pyrolysis), als...

Gamma-ray, density, sonic, resistivity and neutron are the commonly used wireline logs to identify and quantify source rocks. Several models were developed to use the conventional wireline logs for evaluating the thermal maturity of the source rocks and calculating the total organic carbon (TOC) content. Application of Schmockr and Hester [1] approach with some required modifications for the Ru...

The organic-rich shale of the Upper Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation is an important hydrocarbon source rock in Northeast China. In this study, taking lacustrine as example, geochemical analysis, including total organic carbon (TOC), Rock-Eval pyrolysis, maceral compositions, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and biomarker analyses, were carried out on twenty-four samples to evaluate geochemistry enviro...
