We performed optical-geochemical study of 10 wells<br />

located in the Southeastern Mexico Basins in order to<br />

make a correlati<strong>on</strong> of organic facies.<br />

The wells studied they are located in the marine<br />

regi<strong>on</strong>, the call S<strong>on</strong>da of Campeche, where the<br />

carb<strong>on</strong>ated rocks, they are rich in organic matter<br />

laminated of algal-sapropelic and ligneous type.<br />

In S<strong>on</strong>da of Campeche, in which to the Upper<br />

Jurassic it corresp<strong>on</strong>ds, we can menti<strong>on</strong> that are<br />

rocks of Tith<strong>on</strong>ian age, which are represented by<br />

calcareous argillaceous limest<strong>on</strong>es and shales; with<br />

an irregular distributi<strong>on</strong> rocks of Kimmeridgian age,<br />

composed by fine terrigenous horiz<strong>on</strong>s and micritic<br />

carb<strong>on</strong>ates. Finally we can indicate rocks of Oxfordian<br />

age, where some associate fine terrigenous horiz<strong>on</strong>s<br />

with evaporítes<br />

Optical and geochemical characterizati<strong>on</strong> studies<br />

were made in order to know whether these are source<br />

or reservoir facies.<br />

We studied 250 samples of core and 25 oil samples<br />

from these 10 wells. Geochemical studies were<br />

applied to these samples:<br />

- Gas Chromatography<br />

- Saturated biomarkers<br />

- Diam<strong>on</strong>doids<br />

- Pyrolysis<br />

- Compositi<strong>on</strong>al kinetic<br />

- Carb<strong>on</strong> isotopy<br />

While optical analysis the samples were made:<br />

- Transmitted Light<br />

- Fluorescent Light<br />

- Reflected Light<br />

- C<strong>on</strong>focal Study<br />

The analysis of reflected light allowed to know the<br />

range of maturity of organic matter and studies with<br />

c<strong>on</strong>focal microscopy were performed to correlate the<br />

oils with organic facies.<br />

Thanks to the findings and c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s of this study,<br />

largely eliminated the geological and ec<strong>on</strong>omic risk,<br />

as recommended and prevented the drilling of new<br />

wells in areas of low maturity of organic matter.<br />

In additi<strong>on</strong>, this study allowed to know and<br />

characterizati<strong>on</strong> of oils in relati<strong>on</strong> to the organic facies<br />

and characterize mixtures of oils<br />
