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

Organic petrography via incident light microscopy has broad application to shale petroleum
systems, including delineation of thermal maturity windows and determination of organo …

Silver nanoparticles-decorated Preyssler functionalized cellulose biocomposite (PC/AgNPs)
was prepared and fully characterized by FTIR, UV–vis, SEM, and TEM techniques. The …

Many of those assessing geochemical data have taken a “cookbook” approach to
interpretation. Such an approach generally does not take into consideration the limitations of …

Organic-matter-hosted pores are an important aspect of pore systems in unconventional gas
shale reservoirs. Along with thermal maturity, organic maceral type critically controls the …

This paper on core samples collected from the Triassic Montney Formation tight gas
reservoir in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) illustrates that operationally …

The oil-prone maceral bituminite (and its equivalents:'amorphous organic
matter','sapropelinite','amorphinite', etc.) converts to petroleum during thermal maturation of …

Source-rock reservoirs are fine-grained petroleum source rocks from which liquid and
gaseous hydrocarbons may be produced following fracture stimulation. A major factor that …

Based on detailed sedimentological observations and geochemical analyses, four
geological events have been identified, and a genetic depositional model has been …
