However, fractures and mineral alterations create storage space and flow pathways that turn plutonic rocks into fluid reservoirs. Despite significant hydrocarbon discoveries, naturally fractured reservoirs in plutonic rocks have been poorly studied. In most Colombian basins, the crystalline basement has undergone multiple deformational events and is thrust over the Cretaceous to Cenozoic source and reservoir rocks of the conventional petroleum system. This structural configuration is ideal for the migration of oil into a fractured basement. A multiscale fracture analysis, including field, petrographical and petrophysical techniques was conducted on the Permian and Jurassic plutonic basement of Upper Magdalena Basin in order to understand the controls on brittle deformation, the development of fracture networks and their potential to form hydrocarbon reservoirs. The results indicate that protolith textures and structures, including magmatic and mylonitic foliation, favours fracturing. Dykes exhibit higher fracture density (7–48 fractures/m), porosity (mean = 0.4%) and permeability (mean = 125,818.75 mD) than the host rock (2–25 fractures/m; 0.23%; 12,066.09 mD).

In addition, a 1D basin model was built to investigate the burial and temperature history of the study area. The most important Cretaceous source rocks are predominantly reported within the Albian Kharita Formation and Late Cenomanian-Santonian Abu Roash (AR) Formation. Based on visual kerogen tests and Rock-Eval pyrolysis, AR Formation (A, E, F, and G) are mixed oil- and gas-prone source rocks with kerogens ranging from type II to type III, where A/R ‘A and F’ Members show dominant oil-prone kerogen with the highest generative potential, while A/R ‘E and G’ Members are more gas-prone kerogen. Most samples of the lower Kh Formation were interpreted as gas-prone kerogen type III with low generative potential. On the other hand, the high amount of liptinite in the visual kerogen macerals is a strong indicator that the lower Petroleum Formation is an oil-prone rather than gas-prone source rock. The thermal maturity of the studied members increases consistently with depth, ranging from immature at the top of the AR Formation to the main/peak oil window at the base of the Lower Kharita Formation, which served as an active source rock for the hydrocarbons generated in the WBSB. The high value of the heat flow in the Beni Suef Basin (57 and 60 mW/m<sup>2</sup>) is a good indicator for the shallowing of the active source rock depth limit depth.
