Revision as of 15:19, 28 August 2014
, 15:19, 28 August 2014→What this case study illustrates
* Be preceded by a successful oil–oil correlation.
* Be preceded by a successful oil–oil correlation.
* A prior study to establish which sedimentary units in the basin are oil source rocks or possess source rock potential.
* A prior study to establish which sedimentary units in the basin are oil source rocks or possess source rock potential.
* Have at least two of the three major groups of geochemical parameters (elemental, isotopic, molecular) support the positive correlation before it can be considered valid. (In the case of the NL oils, [[Wikipedia:Isotope geochemistry|isotopic]] and molecular data both support the correlation.)
* Have at least two of the three major groups of geochemical parameters (elemental, [[Wikipedia:Isotope geochemistry|isotopic]], molecular) support the positive correlation before it can be considered valid. (In the case of the NL oils, [[Wikipedia:Isotope geochemistry|isotopic]] and molecular data both support the correlation.)
* Be geologically reasonable, with a migration pathway available between source and reservoir at the time migration occurred.
