“…10). The Kazhdumi Formation, deposited at the Cretaceous Albian stage, conformably contacts with the Sarvak (Murris 1980;Alsharhan and Nairn 1997;Bordenave and Burwood 1995;Bordenave and Huc 1995;Bordenave and Hegre 2005). Deep marine still water mudstone deposited in the central part of Dezful Embayment has an excellent hydrocarbon generation potential and is the main source rock for the traps in the Zagros foreland basin (Murris 1980;Burwood 1990, 1995;Bordenave and Huc 1995; In the Azadegan oil field, dark brown and gray Kazhdumi marls were deposited without hydrocarbon potential.…”

“…The Kazhdumi Formation provides one of the world's best examples of prolific source rocks deposited in an intrashelf silled depression (Bordenave & Burwood 1995). The Kazhdumi Formation was defined in the Khuzestan Mountain Front as a low-lying more argillaceous interval situated between the top of the Aptian Dariyan Limestone and the base of the cliff formed by the limestone in the Sarvak Formation of Cenomanian-Early Turonian age (James & Wynd 1965).…”

In the current Zagros Fold Belt of Iran and in its contiguous offshore, five petroleum systems caused an impressive gathering of oil and gas fields that represent some 8% and 15% of global oil and gas reserves, respectively. Almost all the oil fields are located in the relatively small Dezful Embayment, which extends over 60 000 km 2 , whereas most of the gas fields are concentrated in Central and Coastal Fars and in the contiguous offshore area. This paper describes the functioning of the various petroleum systems through time, each petroleum system having its own specificity, and reconstructs the succession of events that explains the current location of the oil and gas fields and the reservoirs in which oil and/or gas accumulated. In addition to the classical description of the petroleum systems (distribution and organic composition of the source rocks, evolution of their maturity through time, geometry of drains and reservoirs, and trap availability at the time of migration), the influence of tectonic phases (Acadian, Hercynian, Late Cenomanian to pre-Maastrichtian, and Late Miocene to Pliocene Zagros phases) on the various systems are discussed. As the time of oil and/or gas expulsion from the source rocks is necessary to reconstruct migration paths and to locate the traps available at the time of migration, extensive modelling was used.

“…Dezful contains kerogen type II and III with TOC values ca. 2% and hydrocarbon potential from 0.5 to 10 kg/ton (Bordenave and Burwood, 1994). Sampling of each source rock was done from outcrops (Kazhdumi from Tange Maghar, Pabdeh and Gurpi from Zaifel section).…”

One of the standard methods of estimating the amount of hydrocarbon generated is determining the kinetic parameters of source rock samples. Therefore, three immature samples from well-known Iranian source rocks (Pabdeh, Gurpi, and Kazhdumi) artificially were matured by an open pyrolysis system (Rock-Eval 6) at temperature rates of 5 and 15 ı C/min in bulk. Optimization was done by Optkin software. Kinetic parameters (A, E) and amount of generated hydrocarbon was determined. The results show different kinetic parameters for each sample and significant differences between them and the global kinetic parameters. Consequently, to get an accurate kinetic model in a petroleum system, a strategy for determining kinetic parameters on any new source rock samples is proposed.
