Commercial hydrocarbon discoveries in the Cretaceous of the southern Persian Gulf basin provide direct evidence that there is an effective petroleum system associated with the Cretaceous series. The revised models of thermal maturity in this region are needed to investigate lateral and stratigraphic variations of thermal maturity, which have not so far been addressed in detail for this part of ...

The rock strata of Cretaceous sedimentary system represented by Aptian to Maastrichtian age occurs as isolated patches outcropping in the western margin of the Cauvery Basin bordering the Archaean granite and gneiss basement. The Cretaceous system is well known as “Cretaceous of Trichinopoly” containing diverse fauna and flora including dinosaur remains, commercially exploitable limestone, lign...

Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...

The middle Cretaceous Colorado Group of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin consists predominantly of mudstone deposited during major marine inundations interspersed with relatively thin sandstone and conglomerate beds. The Colorado Group petroleum system, containing a large portion of the light-medium oil and natural gas reserves within the Middle Jurassic to Cretaceous foreland basin succe...

Undiscovered, conventional oil and gas resources were assessed in the Senegal Province as part of the U.S. Geological Survey World Petroleum Assessment 2000 (U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Assessment Team, 2000). Although several total petroleum systems may exist in the province, only one composite total petroleum system, the CretaceousTertiary Composite Total Petroleum System, was defined...

The Bonaparte Gulf Basin Province (USGS #3910) of northern Australia contains three important hydrocarbon source-rock intervals. The oldest source-rock interval and associated reservoir rocks is the Milligans-Carboniferous, Permian petroleum system. This petroleum system is located at the southern end of Joseph Bonaparte Gulf and includes both onshore and offshore areas within a northwest to so...

Abstract Different parts of the Lower Cretaceous Alam El Bueib (AEB) and Jurassic Khatatba source reservoir rock units in Faghur basin, like other basins north Western Desert, act as hydrocarbon sources reservoirs. In present study, well-log data from five wells Phiops field geochemical Neith S-2X well neighbor together with reflection 2D seismic thirty (30) lines have been utilized to evaluate...
