文摘

The Upper Cretaceous–Paleocene to Lower Eocene rocks contain Type-II/III and Type III kerogen. The Miocene rocks yield mainly Type-III to Type-II/III with gas-generating potential. Migrating oil may have affected source potential indications of the samples analyzed. Three palynofacies associations have been recorded from the succession. The maturity parameters consistently indicate immature to early mature stages.
