Hydrocarbon generation potential of late cretaceous shales and carbonates in Hekimhan basin and genetic relationships with Karadere oil seep (Eastern Anatolia Region, Turkey)

Abstract In this study, Karadere oil seep (solid bitumen) and Late Cretaceous shales and carbonate levels of the Hekimhan Formation in Hekimhan Basin are compared genetically by means of organic-geochemical data. Investigated shale samples have generally low (< 0.5%) the total organic carbon valu...
