The values of Tmax (Rock-Eval) indicate that the Barco Formation at the Lobaterita river is in the oil window. The low TOC ().9 wt%) and bitumen ( ppm) values of the shale samples agree with a low oil generating potential, which is supported by the Rock-Eval results (Table 2).Cited by: 8.

Distributions of S1, S2, and weight percent TOC versus depth from rock eval pyrolysis +3 Modified van Krevelen diagram showing zones for typing kerogen types based on HI vs. OI content. The samples were ground to less than 74 μm particle size, and mass loss rates were measured in zero relative humidity environment at a constant or K.

The results of sample mass (M) with time (t) were seen to follow a first-order mass loss law, which implies that a. Rock–Eval pyrolysis and TOC data indicated that the heterogeneity of Barren Measures and Barakar shales is laterally varying, but in general, factors which support the occurrence of shale gas.

We used Rock-Eval pyrolysis and vitrinite reflectance to examine the petroleum source potential of rock samples from the Sheep Creek 1 well in the Susitna basin of south-central Alaska. The results show that Miocene nonmarine coal, carbonaceous shale, and mudstone are potential sources of hydrocarbons and are thermally immature with respect to.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND STUDY RESULTS. The World Shale Gas and Shale Oil Resource Assessment, conducted by Advanced Resources International, Inc. (ARI) for the U.S. DOEs Energy Information Administration (EIA), evaluates the shale gas and shale oil resource in 26 regions, containing 41 individual countries, Figure 1.
