• Formation of hydrocarbon
Source rock

• source rock refers to rocks from which hydrocarbons have been generated
or are capable of being generated. They form one of the necessary
elements of a working petroleum system. They are organic-rich sediments
that may have been deposited in a variety of environments including deep
water marine, lacustrine and deltaic.

under oxic or sub-
oxic conditions
• Middle Devonian to lower Mississippian widespread
marine anoxic oil and gas source beds in the 
Mid-Continent and Appalachia areas of North America:
(e.g. the Bakken Formation of the Williston Basin, the 
Antrim Shale of the Michigan Basin, the 
Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin).
• Kimmeridge Clay – This upper Jurassic marine 
World class mudstone or its stratigraphic equivalents generated
most of the oil found in the North Sea and the 
Norwegian Sea.[3]
source rocks • La Luna Formation – This Late Cretaceous (mostly 
Turonian) formation generated most of the oil in
northwestern Venezuela.[4]
• Late Carboniferous coals – Coals of this age generated
most of the gas in the southern North Sea, the
Netherlands Basin and the northwest German Basin. [5]
• Hanifa Formation – This upper Jurassic laminated
carbonate-rich unit has sourced the oil in the giant 
Ghawar field in Saudi Arabia.
Reservoir rock

• In petroleum geology, reservoir is one of the elements of petroleum system that can


accumulate hydrocarbons (oil or gas). Reservoir rock must have good porosity and
permeability to accumulate and drain oil in economical quantities.
•  A relatively impermeable rock,
commonly shale, anhydrite or salt, that
Seal rock forms a barrier or cap above and
around reservoir rock such that fluids
cannot migrate beyond the reservoir

•  a trap is a geological structure affecting the reservoir rock and
trap caprock of a petroleum system allowing the accumulation of
hydrocarbons in a reservoir.
 Traps can be of two
types: stratigraphic or
structural.

highly diversified exploration and
production.

Where most of the exploration activity has taken place is
more prospective then other areas.

Todate 7 oil fields have been discovered in upper indus


basin(kohat and potohar province) and twelve gas fields
in lower indus basin (Suleman and kirthar province).
Indus basin
Most petroleum prospects of indus basin are in the
tertiary and messosiac rocks.

All petroleum fields have been discovered in structural


traps.
According to ( hundal and
gouhar 1975)

Yearly
production 7 small fields in the upper indus
basin are estimated to have
producing 2.2 million barrels
yearly.

rock
Source of oil in Datta formation is
considered as Jurassic shales.

Lockart, sakaser and chorgali is thought


indigenous.

Source rock
Murree formation oil is assumed to have
migrated vertically from underlying
Eocene rocks.

Detail study of source rocks
• The detailed geochemical study of source rocks is in
progress in order to ascertain the relation of producing oil
characteristics with the possible sources.
