Thermal maturity and gas generation in Upper Cretaceous formations of the Beni Suef Basin, Egypt: insights from stable carbon isotopes and geochemical analysis of the Azhar-E1X well

Thermal maturity and gas generation in Upper Cretaceous formations of the Beni Suef Basin, Egypt: insights from stable carbon isotopes and geochemical analysis of the Azhar-E1X well

This study investigates the origin and thermal maturity of natural gases in Upper Cretaceous reservoirs within the Azhar-E1X well, Beni Suef Basin, Egypt, using stable carbon isotopic analyses of headspace gas samples. Gas shows within the Cretaceous succession, specifically the Bahariya Formation a...
