Sargelu Formation, source rock, hydrocarbon, volumetric calculation, IraqAbstract
In attempt to determine the amount of hydrocarbon generated from Sargelu Formation, the outcrop and bore hole samples were used. The areal distribution, density, and weight of Sargelu Formation were determined by using traditional methods and using geographic information system. The amount of hydrocarbon generated was determined to be 3.4199 x 1012 kg.
