“…These diagrams were adapted to perform numerical modeling of burial, erosion, and thermal histories in sedimentary basins, e.g., [33,30,34,35]. This method has become an important tool and successfully applied to search for new petroleum plays or for the evaluation of exploitable oil and gas accumulations around the world (e.g., [31,36,37]). In this chapter, quantitative one-dimensional basin modeling is performed for evaluating the thermal histories and timing of hydrocarbon generation and expulsion of the Nayfa, Madbi, and Shuqra source rocks in the Sayun-Masilah basin.…”
