Petroleum Generation from the Zechstein Main Dolomite Carbonates in the NW Poland

P503 PETROLEUM GENERATION FROM THE ZECHSTEIN MAIN DOLOMITE CARBONATES IN THE NW POLAND P. KOSAKOWSKI 1 M. KOTARBA 1 P. POPRAWA 2 and T. WILCZEK 3 SUMMARY 1 Organic geochemistry analyses and BasinMod™ modelling have been applied to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the Zechstein Main Dolomite carbonates in the Western Pomeranian Region. The available selection of well cores allowed for analyses of spatial distribution of lithofacies types organic carbon content and geochemical parameters of the potential source rock. For analytical studies 1706 core samples from 129 wells were used. The history of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion for the studied
