Hydrocarbon Source Rocks In Kazhdumi And Pabdeh Formations—A Quick Outlook In Gachsaran Oilfield, Sw Iran, Majid Safaei-Farouji, Mohammadreza Kamali, Mohammad Hail Hakimi

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Geochemical study of Kazhdumi and Pabdeh Formations as potential source rocks in Gachsaran Oilfield demonstrates that the Kazhdumi Formation has a fair to good capability of hydrocarbon generation and predominately contains type II-III kerogen. On the other hand, the Pabdeh Formation has a poor to good petroleum potential and contains different kerogen types, including type II, type II-III, type III and even for one sample, type IV, indicating different depositional conditions for this formation. The geochemical log of the Kazhdumi Formation shows that there is a close correlation between different geological parameters as noticed prominently in well number 55, which …
