Abstract
Source potential index (SPI) indicates the highest value in the LOZ-1, NL followed by Wickensen, NW-Germany and Esch-sur-Alzette, LU, mainly due to differences in thickness of the studied sections. The lowest value was observed in SW-Germany. The Lower Toarcian (Jet Rock) in Runswick Bay, UK, is assumed to have a high shale oil potential because of its advanced thermal maturity, although its SPI is not high due to the limited thickness of the section studied. The PS in SW-Germany has low shale oil potential due to low thermal maturity and limited thickness.
