Hydrocarbon Potential of the Middle–Late Jurassic Series of Northwestern Iraq: A Case Study in the Shaikhan Oil Field

Hydrocarbon Potential of the Middle–Late Jurassic Series of Northwestern Iraq: A Case Study in the Shaikhan Oil Field

The Middle–Late Jurassic Sargelu, Naokelekan, and Barsarin formations of northwestern Iraq have been investigated in the Shaikhan oilfield (well Shaikhan-8) to assess their potential for hydrocarbon generation.The results of total organic carbon analysis and rock-eval pyrolysis revealed a good-to-ex...
