Source rock potential of the Bakken shales in the Williston Basin, North Dakota and Montana
The lower and upper Bakken shales are world class source rocks in the Williston Basin, sourcing reservoirs in the Bakken, upper Three Forks, and lower Lodgepole formations, which comprise the economically significant Bakken Petroleum System (BPS). Lower and upper Bakken shales exhibit a wide range …

Outcrop to subsurface stratigraphic analysis of the Juana Lopez member of the Mancos Shale, northwestern CO, U.S.A.
… The sediment was derived from a combination of sources: detrital input from the north and abundant intrabasinally derived, calcareous, bioclastic sediment consisting largely of disaggregated inoceramid prisms and fragments of other bivalves. The Juana Lopez has gained increased attention in …

Geological and Geochemical Investigation of the Petroleum Systems of the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico
Fifty (50) crude oils and nineteen (19) source rock samples from strata ranging in age from Ordovician to Middle Permian, and distributed widely over the Permian Basin, were studied geochemically and chemometrically to identify the petroleum systems within the greater Permian Basin. Variations in …

Hydrocarbon occurrences within the La Popa Basin: Potential source rocks, thermal maturation, and hydrocarbon migration along the La Popa salt weld, La Popa Basin, Ne Mexico
… collected along the weld suggest a clay-rich source rock for the hydrocarbons. None of the potential source rocks sampled yielded results indicative of a good source rock, but the Parras Shale and Potrerillos Formation are most similar to the migrated material based on biomarker analysis. …
