| Abstract: |
Late Jurassic Madbi shale samples from Al-Qarn-01 well in the NW Say’un- Masila Basin, Eastern Yemen are analyzed using conventional geochemical data such as total organic carbon (TOC) content and Rock-Eval pyrolysis. The results in this study are used to evaluate the gas resource potentiality in the basin. The analyzed shales have high TOC content between 1.00% and 3.12%, and their HIs range from 77 to 177mg HC/g TOC. These values indicate that the investigated Madbi shale intervals contain Type III kerogen and are considered to be very good gas-source rocks. Furthermore, the relatively high Rock-Eval pyrolysis Tmax (447–459 C) and PI (0.09–0.44) values indicate mainly peak to late mature oil window. |
