• 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.
Type1 Type2 Type3
Type I source rocks Type II source rocks Type III source rocks
are formed from are formed from are formed from
algal remains marine planktonic terrestrial plant
Types of source deposited under
anoxic conditions in
deep lakes:
and bacterial
remains preserved
under anoxic
material that has
been decomposed
by bacteria and fungi
Yearly
production 7 small fields in the upper indus
basin are estimated to have
producing 2.2 million barrels
yearly.
Datta formation (early Jurassic)
rock
Source of oil in Datta formation is
considered as Jurassic shales.
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.
