Oil shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock rich in organic kerogen, which is a national
strategic reserve resource and supplementary energy and shale oil and pyrolysis gas can …

Raman spectroscopy has increasingly been used as an alternative to evaluation the maturity
of coals and organic matters, with more than 84% related articles published during the year …

It is useful in the clarifications of pore spaces at different scales in reservoir evaluations, and
also helpful to exploit shale oil resources. The analysis of pores and fractures can be used to …

Despite kerogen's importance as organic matter produced from oil shale, its pyrolytic
degradation mechanism remains unexplored. As the potential demand for oil shale …

In-situ pyrolysis of oil shale is a sophisticated process that converts solid to gas and liquid.
There is currently minimal research on the chemical mechanism of the production process …

Abstract The Albertine Graben, an active sedimentary petroliferous basin, has gained global
attention as the unexplored areas are recently being targeted for hydrocarbon prospectivity …

Accurate and rapid prediction of thermal maturity during oil shale exploitation is important to
optimize pyrolysis processes and decrease production costs. Then, a bionic electronic nose …

Despite the importance of kerogen as the organic backbone of hydrocarbon production from
source rocks such as oil shale, properties of kerogen at both the atomic and micron scales …

To refine the use of graptolite and solid bitumen as thermal proxies at overmature
conditions, we evaluated their evolution via Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopies …

Kerogen, the predominant organic compound in oil shale, decomposes upon heating to
produce shale oil and gas. This study investigates the pyrolysis mechanism of Type II oil …
