The Volumetric Calculation of Hydrocarbons Generation of Source Rocks in the Gulf of Suez, Egypt

Regression lines obtained from TOC versus S 2 graphs of organic rich samples were collected from Rahmi, West Bakr, Ras Gharib, and Esh El Melleha wells in the Gulf of Suez. By applying the hydrogen index values obtained from S 2 versus TOC graph and mass balance calculations obtained from the result...

Description
Summary:Regression lines obtained from TOC versus S 2 graphs of organic rich samples were collected from Rahmi, West Bakr, Ras Gharib, and Esh El Melleha wells in the Gulf of Suez. By applying the hydrogen index values obtained from S 2 versus TOC graph and mass balance calculations obtained from the results of Rock-Eval pyrolysis, the original hydrocarbon generative capacity and the amounts of the hydrocarbons generated are estimated. Calculation results indicate that the amounts of original hydrocarbons and the hydrocarbon generative capacities of the two methods are similar and correlated with the results of the Rock-Eval pyrolysis. This indicates that such calculations can be applied in the hydrocarbons evaluation of source rocks.
