Abstract
Oil and gas in the eastern part of the Drava depression originated from source rocks of very good generating capabilities - dark gray to black marlstones of Ottnangian, Karpathian, Badenian, Sarmatian and partly Pannonian age. During different tectonic regimes, algal-lipid rich kerogen formed in anoxic and suboxic marine environments. The typical terrestrial maceral vitrinite only occurs as traces.
