... connected pores), BHC (including hydrocarbons adsorbed by organic-mineral matrix) and solid OM – kerogen. The heavy products of kerogen transformation, bitumen, were also included in BHC since they are immobile in a reservoir ( Aлексеев et al. 2016 ). Hence, BHC were divided in 4 groups – gaseous HC, light...
