Özet

A burial history and thermal maturity investigation has been carried out on Upper Cretaceous-Lower Tertiary deposits from the Cankiri Basin. This basin, which contains post-deformational deposits of Campanian-Maastrichtian to Pliocene ages, forms part of a rich hydrocarbon province defined by the presence of potential hydrocarbon source rocks. The stratigraphic sequence was recorded at the Cankiri, Bayat areas and Topuzsaray-1 and Sagpazar-1 wells. At each area, the succession was found to be incomplete and important unconformities were present indicating periods of non-deposition and/or erosion. These unconformities are of variable extent.
