Source rock characterization and oil generating potential of the Jurassic Madbi Formation, onshore East Shabowah oilfields, Republic of Yemen

The hydrocarbon source rock potential of shales from the Jurassic Madbi Formation was evaluated using organic geochemistry (Rock-Eval pyrolysis, TOC and bitumen extraction) and organic petrology. Very good source rock potential is suggested by high values of total organic carbon content (TOC, >2....
