Conclusions
The petroleum geochemistry of Oman provides
a picture of considerable variety. Oil accumulations and source rock occurrences are found
geographically spread throughout the country
and through the stratigraphic column from the
Infra-Cambrian (c. 650 Ma) to the Tertiary.
The main levels of source rocks have been
identified in the Infra-Cambrian Huqf, the
Silurian Safiq, the Upper Jurassic Diyab and
the Cretaceous Bab and Natih formations.
Five types of crude oil are recognized, four of
which can be correlated to one of the source
