Geochemical Characteristics of Source Rocks in Jinzhou 25-1 Area

Geochemical Evaluation of Oils and Source Rocks and Oil-source Rock Correlations, Sub-andean Basins, Peru

Thermal modeling and organic geochemical appraisal of petroleum source rocks within the Aghajari Oilfield, SW Iran

Dezful embayment contains several potential source rocks deposited in tectonically active environments. Existence of various source rocks with different geological ages makes this area one of the most prolific regions throughout the Middle East. The Pabdeh Formation (Lower Paleocene-Eocene), the Gurpi Formation (Santonian-Masstrichtian), the Kazhdumi Formation (Albian) and the Gadvan Formation ...

Mineralization, alteration and geochemical characteristics of host rocks in the Rangraz iron oxide-copper mineralization area, north Saveh, central part of Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc

The Rangraz area is located about 20 km north of Saveh, which is situated in the central part of Uromieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc. The exposed rocks in the study area consist of a volcanic and volcanoclastic subvolcanic dikes and quartz monzodiorite intrusions. Mineralization in this area is mostly related to the silicic, argillic and chloritization alteration assemblages. The Rangraz area consists...

Petrological and geodynamical constraints of Chaldoran basaltic rocks, NW of Iran: evidence from geochemical characteristics

Chaldoran area in NW of Iran has Mesozoic oceanic crust basement. The studied rocks of this region can be divided into three groups: ophiolitic gabbros and pillow lavas, ophiolitic volcanoclastics and Eocene lava flows. Ophiolitic mafic rocks show continental volcanic arc natures and Eocene lava flow shows OIB-like nature. During the Mesozoic,the Chaldoran region was situated in the active cont...

Brunei Darussalam Characteristics of selected petroleums and source rocks

The development of three Tertiary deltaic complexes has resulted in the deposition of up to 10 km of sandstones and shales comprising the sources and reservoirs for crude oils that occur onshore, near-o€shore and, with future exploration e€orts, those likely to be encountered in deepwater reservoirs north of the Brunei coastline. We examined a series of o€shore oils and onshore rock samples in ...
