Abstract

Basement rock reservoirs are a special type of oil and/or gas reservoir, which has been usually neglected until recently as a target for exploration. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the hydrocarbon potential of Niğde Massif. The n-alkane hydrocarbons found in the water samples collected are the mature petroleum hydrocarbons, which are the geochemical evidence for a working petroleum system in the study area. The dom structures in which they are suitable to be entrapped and protected for hydrocarbons in a predominantly SW-NE orientation, where metamorphic rocks in which granite has been located in its center have formed, is the possible hydrocarbon reservoir in the study area. The geochemical exploration methodology used in this study may be a new method that can eliminate the discovery of hydrocarbons in the metamorphic massif and granitic rocks by chance.

Keywords
