..., economics, and field thermal maturity patterns. For single source hydrocarbons, thermal maturity is highly correlated to the thermally evolved fluid chemistry eventually produced at the surface. Production measurements such as gas density, oil density, and gas-oil ratio, directly reflect the evolved...

.... When the samples were heated during pyrolysis, water made a difference in the content of Rock-Eval (RE)-derived parameters. During AHP and HP, the analyzed samples changed in terms of thermal maturity, organic matter (OM) quantity and quality, and remaining hydrocarbon generation potential. Unresolved...

... on the thermal maturity of the formation adds more complexity to the characterization. Consequently, it is crucial to quantify the impact of thermal maturation on the reservoir properties for accurate reservoir characterization. We provide a quantitative assessment of thermal maturity on geological features...

.... It’s important to note that the selected retort temperature regime for Formation X in Basin A may very well be different than Formation Y in Basin B due to variations in source rock (kerogen) type, thermal maturity and/or a number of other factors. Therefore, a tailored experimental set up...

... in the kerogen and clay structures needs quantitative investigation. In this paper, we aim to (a) quantify the effects of kerogen composition, pore structure, and thermal maturity on the CO 2 :CH 4 competitive adsorption behavior, (b) quantify the effects of clay surface chemistry on the CO 2 and CH 4...

.... As Sh2 increased, the total solids obtained from NMR increased. A trend of increase in the solids vs. thermal maturity was evident, and a correlation between NMR solids and TOC of the Norwood in the three coreholes was observed. Since the Antrim Shale cores had been stored for many years, the signals...

... of produced fluids as a function of wellbore placement as well as regional geology. Within the context of thermal maturity, our study addresses whether Niobrara oils exhibit unique geochemical signatures stratigraphically among landing zones and regionally across the basin. We use high-resolution gas...

.... Previously we showed using a combination of experimental methods and molecular simulation studies that kerogen type, thermal maturity, and reservoir temperature conditions affect the contact angle of the water droplet on kerogen surface, and therefore, wettability of kerogen. Wettability affects...

... present the application of a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method to understand the fundamental structural changes in the kerogen and the saturates-aromatics shifting during the thermal maturation process. Cuttings and core chips samples were prepared without kerogen isolation...

... studies have shown that organic pores can have variable wettability depending on the geochemistry of the rock. However, there is no comprehensive study on the impact of kerogen type and thermal maturity on the adsorption of methane. Moreover, methane adsorption is shown to be scientifically affected...

.... Correlations of RVS to well logs and core plug data suggest that the more thermally mature Mowry may have better permeability. URTeC 5591 2 RVS data provides information about the quality and type of resource present in the upper vs middle Mowry and their inorganic compositions. Based on HC compositional...

... is therefore defined by the S+A fraction while resins and asphaltenes are considered not producible. Geochemical data indicate that petroleum stored in the pores of the shales have variable SARA composition, ranging from 50% S+A in low thermal maturity portions of the basin, to 97% S+A in higher maturity areas...

Dynamic elastic properties derived from velocities on a continuous interval can be used to target ideal facies for a more effective frac design (i.e. total organic content, thermal maturity...

... these properties cause basic modifications in how seismic waves travel through the rock. This study shows advancements in studies of: 1) TOC loss with increased thermal maturation, 2) how this loss affects the development of organic porosity, 3) how kerogen becomes denser, harder, and more brittle with increasing...

... consent of URTeC is prohibited. Abstract The differences in thermal maturity of migrated, conventional oil vs in situ shale oil can be recognized by standard petroleum geochemical methods. Thermal maturity of the oils was assessed in this study using both gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry...

... Abstract The thermal maturity of organic-rich mudstones is one of the main parameters to evaluate, when appraising a new area in an unconventional shale play project, to decide on the best field development strategy and to define the landing zones. Conventionally, thermal maturity is derived...
