Abstract Facies of rifting basins reflect different depositional environments from deep to shallow conditions. The present study focuses on subsurface facies characterization and source rock assessment Kareem Rudeis rocks in six wells lying the central Gulf Suez. distribution lithologic patterns delineated through several constructed maps. Porosity cross-plots formations determine minerals poro...

This study presents the results derived from micropaleontological and organic geochemical analyses of mud breccia samples obtained (through gravity coring) five volcanoes (Gelendzhik, Heraklion, Moscow, Milano, Leipzig) located at Olimpi volcano field on Mediterranean Ridge accretionary complex. A thorough calcareous nannofossil semi-quantitative analysis was performed to determine biostratigra...

Gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), elemental analysis, infrared absorption spectroscopy (IR), thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Rock-Eval pyrolysis, as well as viscosity and density analysis revealed that oil sands from Qaidam basin, Qinghai Province of China, are highly concentrated in light components (£C23), with saturate...

This study relates to the input and fate of fossil organic matter (FOM) in the modern environment, and focuses on two experimental watersheds overlying Jurassic marls: Le Laval and Le Brusquet (1 km 2 in area), located near Digne, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France. Considering that FOM delivery is mainly a result of different processes affecting sedimentary rocks [(bio)chemical and mechanical wea...

Tarim Basin is the largest Petroliferous basin in China, while its shale gas development potential has not been fully revealed. The organic-rich black middle Ordovician Heituao Formation from Tadong low uplift of considered as an important source rock and characteristic large thickness, high organic matter content thermal maturity degree. To obtain potential, geochemical, mineralogical mechanic...

To assess how the grain size/rock fabric of laboratory-matured shale samples impact oil, gas production, and formation pores during laboratory thermal maturation, cores (4.5 mm*1 cm) bulk rock, millimetric equidimensional rock fragments (3*3 mm), fine grind powder (<200 μm) were obtained from an organic-rich mudstone (Kimmeridge Clay Fm. “KCF”, Yorkshire, UK) artificially matured under anhydrou...

The exploration well ANH-CR-Montecarlo-1X, in the southern part of Cesar-Ranchería basin Colombia, cuts sedimentary rocks assigned to Cogollo Group (Barremian-Cenomanian). present study integrates petrographic techniques (thin section microscopy and scanning electron microscopy), geochemistry (total organic carbon pyrolysis rock-eval) basic petrophysics establish thermal maturity potential thes...

The Taranaki Basin in New Zealand presents the most promising territory for strategies of hydrocarbon exploration and development. This basin contains multiple source rock levels its sedimentary successions formed during syn- post-rift periods. deepest rocks, found Rakopi Formation, were deposited deltaic to deep marine environments consist gas-prone coal organic-rich mudstone lithofacies. Howe...

The Cenomanian Mata Amarilla Formation (MAF) in southern Patagonia (~55° S paleolatitude, Austral-Magallanes Basin, Argentina) is composed mainly of stacked fluvial deposits with intercalated paleosols, which document environments at high-paleolatitudes the Southern Hemisphere. We performed a multiproxy study paleosols and sediments MAF order to (1) understand composition soil- sediment-derived...
