Abstract
Paleozoic Oil Potantial of Diyarbakır Basin in Southeast Turkey This study aims to understand the Paleozoic oil potential of the Diyarbakır Basin of Southeastern Turkey. The Paleozoic stratigraphy of the Diyarbakır Basin consists of clastic and carbonate units deposited from the Precambrian to the end of the Permian. Early Silurian-aged Dadaş formation is the only source rock for the Paleozoic petroleum system. The oil generated in the Dadaş formation was trapped in Ordovician-aged Bedinan and Devonian-aged Hazro formations. The oil potential of the basin was estimated by mathematical basin modeling by using the software. It was determined that the Dadaş source rock generated 213.0 billion barrels of oil, of which 141.0 billion barrels were expelled, and 72.0 billion barrels remaining in the source rock.
