... Abstract Using publicly reported data, and established geochemical relationships, the familiar maturity map in unconventional fields presented as binned produced fluid types (black oil, volatile oil, wet gas, dry gas), can be upgraded into a quantitative tool for evaluating resources...

.... Regional carbon isotope analyses of C 2 to C 5 hydrocarbons from the Duvernay indicate that the system was "closed" and not over mature. Therefore, carbon isotope thermometry could provide key insights of liquids fraction distribution, especially considering the Duvernay within the "oil window...

.... A kinetics model was derived to model the co-generation of sulfur bearing species from kerogen with hydrocarbons and the subsequent evolution during secondary cracking, from which the total sulfur content in oil and the H 2 S content in gas at different maturities were predicted. Results Across...

... in the LS, WCA and WCB, and one in the WCA from well #1), to see if differences in thermal maturity between produced oils and pilot well rock extracts can be explained by differences in maturity along the laterals. Pilot well #2 was drilled with water-based mud (WBM) and cuttings were available...

... in Unconventional plays in the Middle East is gaining more interest as these resources cover substantial areas with very good maturity. The Shilaif Formation is one of the main unconventional oil resources in the region and considers as primary oil source of the conventional reservoirs. Therefore, the need...

... Abstract Due to maturity inversion from shallower west to the deeper east in Delaware basin, the shallower western slope of Delaware basin features higher GOR than the deeper eastern part of the sub-basin. This poses risk of higher GOR yet low oil production in the Northern part which already...

... Abstract The source rock maturity is one of the most fundamental parameters to assess the petroleum system. With a more accurate maturity assessment, a range of key parameters in a petroleum system can be better constrained and predicted, including the hydrocarbon generation/cracking...

... geochemistry, and also greatly varying maturities and deposit environments. The deposit environment affect the kerogen significantly. For example, high salinity deposit usually have oil-prone type I kerogen with significantly delayed and suppressed gas window and therefore high oil with low gas yield. The oil...

.... The location and concentration of minerals was color-coded and overlaid on optical images for visualization of the distribution of minerals. Dense hyperspectral Raman mapping of organic material was performed on five thin sections. Eleven spectral parameters diagnostic of organic type and thermal maturity were...

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...
