Abstract
The Songkhla Basin in the southwestern Gulf of Thailand, notable for hydrocarbon exploration, contains petroleum source rocks in Early Oligocene strata. This study constructed a one-dimensional petroleum system model based on well data and seismic data. Findings show that the source rocks began hydrocarbon generation in the Early Miocene, reaching significant transformation in the Middle Miocene, and continuing to the present day. Seismic data suggest that fault activity likely caused oil leakage, impacting current exploration viability. This research provides insights into the maturation history and potential for future hydrocarbon exploration in the Songkhla Basin.
