ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the organic richness, kerogen type, thermal maturity, and apparent activation energy distribution of source-rock cutting from wells in Muglad Basin. It applies Rock-Eval II pyrolysis results to compare Abu Gabra Formation and Baraka intervals. The study identifies the Abu Gabra Formation as the stronger oil-prone source interval and proposes that the Baraka Formation may also contribute to the petroleum system.
