Integration of Middle Eastern Source-Rock Kinetics into a Regional Thermal-Maturity Model

A regional thermal-maturity model of the Arabian Plate petroleum source rocks was constructed using ExxonMobil’s<br>Stellar ™ basin-modeling software. The model integrates plate-wide structural maps at 19 unconformities spanning the<br>Phanerozoic era, with estimates of the amount of missing section at ten major unconformities (Figure 1) and is calibrated to<br>regional temperature and maturity data.
