Origin of Bahariya oil in Salam oil field, Western Desert- Egypt

Origin of Bahariya oil in Salam oil field, Western Desert- Egypt

The origin of Bahariya oil is a debatable issue. Bahariya Formation produces oil from the Lower sandstone unit by normal pressure mechanism, while the Upper Bahariya shale produces oil by fracking mechanism. The main question is: is there any genetic relationship between the two oils.To answer this...
