Organic geochemical and basin modeling methods were used to investigate the potential of thermogenic gas generation from the source rock of the Miocene Salif Formation. The analyzed Salif shales were collected close to the intrusive volcanic rocks intersected by the Kathib-01 well in the offshore Ti...
