Upper Jurassic Source Rock Evaluation and Thermal Maturity Evolution of the NW Sab’atayn Basin, Yemen
Abstract-The Sab’atayn Basin has the greatest oil and gas exploration potential in the Mesozoic basins of Yemen. The quantity and quality of the organic matter of sediments is a core focus of source rocks evaluation in exploration of hydrocarbon. Organic-rich sediments within the Meem (Lower) and Lam (Upper) members from four wells in the NW Sab’atayn basin were analyzed using organic geochemistry and total organic carbon content.
