Evaluation of Upper Paleozoic source rocks in the southeastern margin of the Ordos Basin by Yongping Wan, Zhenchuan Wang, Minrui Cui, Minrui Cui, Kouqi Liu, Wu Li, Wu Li, Wu Li

“…Kerogen maceral analysis identified predominantly Type III (humic) kerogen with some Type II2 (humic-sapropelic) components, suggesting a strong capacity for gas generation. Thermal maturity analysis revealed that the source rocks have reached the overmature dry gas stage, signifying advanced thermal evolution.DiscussionThe findings highlight the central and southern parts of the Yanchang gas field as promising exploration targets, characterized by high TOC content, favorable kerogen type indices, and high Ro values. …”
