Geochemical assessment of the timing(s) of hydrocarbon generation due to multiple source rocks and multiple expulsion events from single source rocks – understanding the rates of organic matter decomposition.
A unique study offered by GeoMark and Humble will allow mapping of kinetically determined transformation rates and saturation thresholds.
100 bulk kinetics measurements across the basin with detailed compositional (gas+oil) kinetic models available on specific organofacies sourcing oil families. This will enable mapping of transformation ratios for evaluation of the quality of the oil and the possibility of which systems may be mixing due to a secondary condensate-gas charge |
This has important implications for oil quality in given areas of the basin.
Likewise, high resolution light hydrocarbon fingerprinting of the oils allows discrimination of oil mixing, alteration, and very important secondary hydrocarbon charges that high-grade oil quality, which has been shown to occur in the Sirte Basin (Jarvie et al., 2002).
