dc.description.abstract | This study is a first attempt that integrates source rock geochemical evaluation, with
analytic and numerical basin-modelling techniques to identify and ascertain the present-day
configuration, spatial distributions, characteristics and hydrocarbon generative potentials of
existing source rocks within the southern depocenter of the relatively frontier Pletmos sub-basin.
Petroleum charge within the basin is proposed to have occurred during most of the Cenozoic Era.
The investigation employed a forward modelling approach whereby models were calibrated
through a combination of geological and geophysical datasets from 6 wells, and constrained by
vitrinite reflectance and kinetic parameters. | |
