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...

.... 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...

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...

... 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...
