Abstract
Because there is around a 5Â km sedimentary basin fill in the study area, it may exhibit hydrocarbon potential and the Yesilcat oil seep evidences this potential. Surface samples were collected to examine source rock potential and to correlate with the Yesilcat seep by analysing the organic geochemical properties. In this study, 72 samples were collected from different formations and it was found that the Yoncali Formation displays better source rock potential than the other formations studied.
