Jimusar sag, which lies in the Junggar Basin, is an important tight oil study area in China.
However, the properties and origin of the crude oil and the geochemical characteristics of …

The evolution of shale reservoirs is mainly related to two functions: mechanical compaction
controlled by ground stress and chemical compaction controlled by thermal effect. Thermal …

Abstract The Carpathian Foredeep is one of the largest Miocene sedimentary basins in
Central Europe. Biomarkers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), stable carbon …

Understanding the oil distribution characteristics in unconventional tight reservoirs is crucial
for hydrocarbon evaluation and oil/gas extraction from such reservoirs. Previous studies on …

The presence of vitrinite in sedimentary rocks of post-Silurian age allows its reflectance to be
used to estimate the thermal maturation of organic matter in petroleum systems. Increasing …

This review presented a detailed re-assessment of the hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of
the Tropical Anambra Basin. It identified and discussed the major geological formations and …

This paper examines the geochemical characteristics of pyrolysates from macerals such as
the alginite, sporinite, cutinite, collotelinite and collodetrinite isolated from Jurassic coals and …

The rise in demand for natural gas has spurred the need to investigate the inland
sedimentary basin for more potential sources. In response, the petrophysical parameters of …

Recently, petroleum exploration of the Dongpu depression has become increasingly difficult,
primarily because of the unclear potential and distribution of deep strata resources …
