These are not necessarily nano-Darcy shale oil reservoirs, but micro-Darcy tight clastics or carbonates. In this study, the focus has been...

... structures of kerogen have been proposed based on some characterization techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrospcoy. However, the physical and chemical properties of kerogen are essentially determined by its 3D stereochemical molecular configuration. In this work, according...
