Abstract

Paleocene Kabalar Formation (Goynuk, Bolu/Turkey) has been studied by a combination of organic geochemical methods (LECO/Rock-Eval, gas chromatography), light microscopy and bulk combination method (elemental analysis) in order to assess the hydrocarbon source potential of the abundant and extensive lacustrine shale intervals present in the formation.
