... from optical vitrinite reflectance measurements, but this technique has some limitations in marine sediments with lack of terrestrial material. Other techniques, such as Rock-Eval pyrolysis, are destructive and the results can be biased if oil-based mud is used to drill the well. In this contribution...

... Abstract The objective of this study has been to assess the potential applicability of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) as a routine method for the quantification of source rock maturity. Despite decades of experience with the application of vitrinite reflectance and a host of proxy...

... Summary Evaluation of thermal maturation indicators in thermogenic shale gas reservoirs is critical for the potential assessment and development of unconventional resources. Vitrinite reflectance (R o ) is a commonly used method to quantify the maturation level of organic matter in sedimentary...
