Hydrocarbon source rock potential in the southwestern Gulf of Suez graben: Insights from organic geochemistry and palynofacies studies on well samples from the Ras El Bahar Oilfield
16
TL;DR: Palynological and biomarker characteristics of organic facies recovered from Cretaceous-Miocene well samples in the Ras El Bahar Oilfield, southwest Gulf of Suez, and their correlation with lithologies, environments of deposition and thermal maturity have provided a sound basis for determining their source potential for hydrocarbons.

Chemometric Differentiation of Oil Families and Their Potential Source Rocks in the Gulf of Suez
TL;DR: In this article, an oil-oil and oil-source rock correlation study was carried out using chemometric methods applied to geochemical data for 123 Upper Cretaceous-Lower Miocene putative source rock and 46 crude oil samples from the Gulf of Suez Rift basin.
