Estimating source rock parameters using wireline data: An example from Dezful Embayment, South West of Iran

Hydrogen Index (HI) and kerogen type were also effectively predicted using mathematical relationship between TOC and S2 factors. Reliability of all steps of the methodology was approved using a 16 members retest dataset for which testing predicted parameters against measured data demonstrated good correlation coefficients combined with negligible errors. Finally, applicability of the methodology was checked by applying it on two wells in the Dezful Embayment to evaluate geochemical and depositional properties of the Paleocene-Early Oligocene Pabdeh Formation.
