Abstract:The Baiyun sag of the Pearl River Mouth Basin has become a focus for deepwater exploration with the highest hydrocarbon potential in northern South China Sea. The Eocene organic-rich mudstones are the main source rocks in the Baiyun sag, and the evolution of their depositional environment remains unclear. Based on the core and geochemical data, we investigated the depositional environments of the Eocene Wenchang and Enping sediments in the Baiyuan sag and revealed the sedimentary environment influences on the … Show more
