Question-1

We have three main criteria that we have to determine whether it has

source rock potential or not.

Total Organic Carbon(TOC) should be greater than 0.2%

Production Index (PI) should be lower than 0.2
S1+S2 should be greater than 2000 ppm.

According these data I selected the intervals which have source rock
potential.
