- •
Najmah Formation has more petroleum potential than Chia Gara and Balambo formations.
- •
The Najmah Formation contains type I-II kerogen deposited under anoxic conditions.
- •
Chia Gara and Balambo formations contain mixed OM, deposited under suboxic conditions.
- •
Oils from the northern Iraq constitute five genetically distinct oil families.
- •
The studied source rock samples are not representative of the effective source rocks.
