This paper reviews the significance of solid bitumen with emphasis on source-rock
reservoirs. We discuss difficulties and discrepancies with terminology, especially those …

Thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) is a set of redox reactions between organic matter
and sulfates at temperatures> 120° C, and occurs in varied environments including deeply …

ABSTRACT The Marcellus Formation of Pennsylvania represents an outstanding example of
an organic matter (OM)–hosted pore system; most pores detectable by field-emission …

Hydrocarbon generation and retention processes occurring within gas shales as a response
to increases in thermal maturation are still poorly constrained. While efforts have been …

Organic petrology developed as coal petrology at the beginning of the 20th century
dedicated mainly to the study of coals because of their utilization in industry. Coal petrology …

After a nearly decade absence, we present a review of noteworthy contributions in
petroleum analysis over the past 3 years, intentionally limited to∼ 250 references. The …

This article discusses the role of methane in thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR), the
fate of TSR-derived CO 2 and the effect of TSR on reservoir porosity and permeability, and …

Organosulfur compounds (OSCs) play important roles in the formation, preservation, and
thermal degradation of sedimentary organic matter and the associated petroleum …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) can be a significant component of oil and gas upstream production,
where H2S can be naturally generated in situ from reservoir biomass and from sulfate …

Chemical conditioners are often used to enhance sewage sludge dewaterability through
altering sludge properties and flocs structure, both affect odorous compounds emissions not …
