Abstract

 1D modeling of oil generation is one of the methods used in petroleum system investigations. The candidate source rocks in the Pazanan field were subjected to 1D thermal modeling in order to investigate their maturation history and hydrocarbon generation. Oil generation modeling of the Pabdeh, Kazhdumi, Garau and Sargelu source rocks were constructed, in the Pazanan anticline and also in southern and northern synclines. Based on the investigation done during this study, it is evident, that there are significant differences between oil generations in the drilled wells in comparison to the adjacent synclines. These differences indicate that for example the Pabdeh Formation in Pazanan anticline is not reached to oil generation, while it is in peak of oil generation in northern syncline.   The obtained oil generation history of source rocks during this study showed that quantity of oil generated of the Pabdeh and Kazdumi source rocks in synclines are more than anticline. In addition the oil generated from Garau and Sargelu formations is more than that of Pabdeh and Kazdumi source rocks.
