We present evidence that hydrocarbon source rocks can be preconditioned for primary
hydrocarbon migration at an early stage of catagenesis by pore-scale processes linked to …

The initiation of bitumen-filled microfractures was analysed in the organic-rich Maastrichtian
carbonate mudrocks of Jordan, which show great potential as source rocks and for a future …

This paper presents an integrated petrographic–geochemical–geomechanical study of the
growth mechanisms of carbonate and chert concretions observed at outcrop and core from …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous source rocks of Jordan are organic-rich carbonate mudrocks
that represent excellent source rocks but are essentially still immature to just entering the oil …

Fluid flow in the pore network depends on the preferential movement of different fluid
phases. To understand the preferential movement of different fluids in the reservoir …

The Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Belqa Group in Jordan consists predominantly of
organic-rich carbonate mudrocks that represent excellent source rocks but are still immature …

Organic-rich mudrocks are of great significance to the petroleum industry, potentially acting
as source rocks, cap rocks or unconventional reservoirs. Several different factors control the …
