CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION OF HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL OF THE BELATA BLACK SHALES, PERAK, PENINSULAR MALAYSIA

Paleozoic black shales in Peninsular Malaysia forms 25% of its sedimentary area cover, however, research on the thermal maturity of the black shales and their economic potential have been overlooked. Hence, this research is aiming at establishing the deposition and stratigraphic zones of the Carboni...
