Due to the growing need for hydrocarbons and the limited conventional resources, paying
attention to unconventional oil and gas resources is essential. The upper Jurassic-Lower …

The impact of marine incursions during transgression (ie, sea level rises and the shoreline
moves landward) on the formation and quality of lacustrine source rocks is an important and …

This study investigates the organic characterization of three source rocks in the Abadan
