Abstract:
Based on an analysis of the abundance, type and thermal evolution of the organic matter from wells and cable drilling data of a block in Myanmar, the authors have revealed that the study area has certain hydrocarbon generating potential. The evaluation of 2 source rocks of the Oligocene and Miocene shale by using TOC, S2 , chloroform asphalt "A", Tmax and Ro test data shows that the main source rock is Lower?Middle Oligocene, whereas middle?upper layer of Oligocene has low?middle organic abundance source rock.
