The Tuwaiq Mountain source rock reached early stage maturity for oil generation at about 100 Ma and continued to attain its peak oil expulsion in the deeply buried areas at Early Tertiary time, approximately during a period of 65-54 Ma | Geology [ ] The Safaniya Field is the largest offshore oil field in the world and is located in the Persian Gulf |

3 mi , the field has a producing capability of more than 1 | By 1993, there were a total of 624 wells in the field |
The eroded units included the Mishrif Member and most of the Rumaila Member.
12It decreased the capacity of oil production for around 2 weeks | The can be divided into two smaller petroleum systems, the Jurassic Petroleum System and Cretaceous Petroleum System |

Today the Hanifa and Tuwaiq Mountain source rocks in the east have passed through the oil generation window but may also still be within the oil generation window | Jurassic source rocks began oil movement during the Late Cretaceous |
In the western part of the basin the source rocks are still immature and soon will enter the oil window.
