understanding the performance and role of each formation in a petroleum play is crucial for the efficient and precise exploration and exploitation of trapped hydrocarbons in a sedimentary basin. the lorestan basin is one of the most important hydrocarbon basins of iran, and it includes various oil-prone potential source rocks and reservoir rocks. previous geochemical studies of the basin were n...

lurestan province is petroliferous area. the reserved oil are in ilam and sarvak  (cretaceous ) and kangan ( lower triassic ) and dalan (permian) formations. the lurestan area had high exploration activity but contribution of source rocks in hydrocarbon accumulations isn’t clear. in this paper essential elements and process of hydrocarbon accumulation are introduced. candidate  source  rocks ar...

rock-eval pyrolysis and oxidation are the most widely used methods by exploration companies for identifying and evaluating potential source rocks in sedimentary basins. in this article, these methods and the parameters resulted from their application are first  explained.  then,  based on screened data resulted from analyzing 499 outcrop samples by using rock-eval pyrolysis and oxidation method...

Abstract Due to the growing need for hydrocarbons and limited conventional resources, paying attention unconventional oil gas resources is essential. The upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous in western southwestern Iran contains most crucial source rocks of Zagros sedimentary basin. One richest shaly Garau Formation. Owing geochemical geological characteristics, Formation, with Neocomian Coniacian a...
