The geological debate about whether, and to what extent, humic coals have sourced oil is
likely to continue for some time, despite some important advances in our knowledge of the …

The deposition of sediments rich in organic matter (Corg roughly greater than 1%) is usually
restricted to subaquatic sedimentary environments in which organic matter is produced …

The ratio of dibenzothiophene to phenanthrene and the ratio of pristane to phytane, when
coupled together, provide a novel and convenient way to infer crude oil source rock …

The movement of petroleum from organic-rich source beds to potential carrier beds is the net
result of two processes: expulsion—the release of generated petroleum from kerogen within …

The role of absorption of generated petroleum within solid organic matter in source rocks
has been investigated. We conclude that absorption is a significant phenomenon and that …
