Geochemical characterisation and predicted bulk chemical properties of petroleum generated from Jurassic and Cretaceous source rocks in the Vulcan Sub-basin, Bonaparte Basin, North West Shelf of Australia

•The studied source rocks have moderate to excellent potential for petroleum generation.•The Plover and lower Vulcan formations are the primary source rocks of hydrocarbons.•The onset of hydrocarbon generation occurs over a broad temperature range.•Facies variation in Jurassic formations explain the...
