Therefore, by performing rock-eval pyrolysis analyzes on samples collected from a possible source rock, the properties and paleoenvironmental conditions such as the amount of organic matter contained in the samples, the degree of maturation, and whether they can produce gas or oil were determined. According to the results of rock-eval pyrolysis carried out in the Kahtepe Formation, it was determined that the samples have a weak source rock in terms of hydrocarbons due to their very low organic carbon content. The low hydrogen index values and medium and high oxygen index values in the Kahtepe Formation samples indicate that the Kahtepe limestones have mixed Type II/III kerogen. The Tmax values of the Kahtepe Formation samples vary between 456-482oC and fall into the postmature stage, indicating that very few of the Kahtepe limestone samples are in the oil window and most of them are in gas efficiency. These data led us to the conclusion that organic material that can provide source rock features is consumed in Kahtepe limestones during the over-maturation process.
