Petroleum generation and accumulation in the Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina: a basin modeling study

The Golfo San Jorge Basin, located in Patagonia, is very important for the oil and gas production of Argentina. In spite of the long history of exploration and production, few geochemical studies were performed until now. For this study, a set of possible source rocks was analyzed by organic geochem...
