Good understanding of mechanical properties of rock formations is essential during the
development and production phases of a hydrocarbon reservoir. Conventionally, these …

Total organic carbon (TOC) is an important parameter for assessing the hydrocarbon
potential of source rocks. The standard method for analysis of TOC is the Rock-Eval …

Two major factors, in addition to the global eustaric sea-level changes, controlled the
deposition of the Cretaceous stratigraphic sequences in the Mesopotamian Basin in central …

The Cenomanian Mishrif Formation is the main carbonate Cretaceous reservoir in southern
