Various condensate samples (Ali-1, Bilal-1, Bilal North-1 and Naimat Basal-1) are obtained from Lower Goru formation (Cretaceous) of Sindh basin (Pakistan). A molecular study for saturated/aliphatic hydrocarbons, isolated from these samples, is carried out in order to investigate genetic relationship among the samples. Moreover, physico-chemical analyses are also carried out by using ASTM methods. All the condensates show almost similar physico-chemical characteristics. These samples also show close resemblance in terms of molecular parameters. Therefore, they are suggested to share similar source. Some observed variations in physico-chemical and geochemical properties for Ali-1 compared to other condensate samples are interpreted in terms of maturity difference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
