This study uses organic geochemical and basin modelling results to examine the potential for thermogenic gas generation from oil-to-gas conversion of the organic-rich Lower Cretaceous Al Renk shales in the Melut Basin, South Sudan. The overall geochemical results show that the Al Renk shales are con...
