Abstract

Bibi Hakimeh oil field is one of the biggest oil fields located in the Dezful Embayment. In this study, Kazhdumi and Gadvan Formations and tongue of Kazhdumi in Daryian Formation in Bibi Hakimeh 120 well are investigated. Gamma log, Rock Eval and thermal modeling methods are used in this regard. In this study, properties of source rock zones are separated by using gamma log. Then, quantity and quality of source rocks is studied by using Rock Eval Analysis and thermal modeling. This study reveals that Gamma Ray Log can be used as a good tool in identification of source rock intervals. In this investigation, burial history, hydrogen index, transformation ratio and residual hydrocarbon profiles are obtained. Source rocks are in the early stage of oil generation, but oil expulsion has not taken place yet.
