Abstract

A system and method for determining a net source rock thickness is disclosed. The method includes obtaining at least one well log, a first and second plurality of core samples from a wellbore, and for each of the first plurality determining a relative abundance of inorganic materials, and for each of the second plurality a set of organic material data. The method further includes determining a validated total organic content and a measured source rock thickness based on the organic material data and relative abundance of inorganic materials and determining a data and a prediction portion of the wellbore, based on the second plurality sample locations. The method still further includes determining a cut-off value for each well log, predicting a source rock thickness from the cut-off values and the net source rock thickness from a sum of the predicted and the measured source rock thicknesses.
