Matrix Retention of Hydrocarbons
During the Rock-Eval pyrolysis S2 stage, the heavier hydrocarbon molecules generated during to the thermal maturation of kerogen, are often retained by the shale-matrix. Argillaceous matrices of organic-rich s...

Chapter
Summary
Geochemical profiling-data of unconventional shale reservoirs is a key step in their characterization. However, it can provide misleading and ambiguous interpretation due to a lack of thorough understanding of...

Chapter
Introduction
Organic-rich shales, until recently evaluated mainly as source-rocks feeding conventional oil and gas reservoirs, are now considered more broadly as both potential source rocks and as potential unconventional ...

Chapter
Source-Rock Geochemistry: Organic Content, Type, and Maturity
Petroleum generation and storage in unconventional shale reservoirs is primarily controlled by the organic-matter present within shales. While organic richness is very important for acting as unconventional pe...

Chapter
Sedimentary Biomarkers and Their Stable Isotope Proxies in Evaluation of Shale Source and Reservoir Rocks
Organic-matter present in shales is the source of gaseous hydrocarbons and its quantity and quality determines the gas generative capacity of the rock. It is represented by the total organic carbon (TOC) conte...

Chapter
Source-Rock Evaluation Using the Rock-Eval Technique
The basic pyrolysis techniques used for source-rock geochemical analysis are generally simple and can be interpreted in a straightforward way. However, some of the data generated can be misleading and lead to ...

Chapter
Kerogen’s Potential to Be Converted into Petroleum: Reaction Kinetics and Modelling Thermal Maturity Plus Petroleum Transformation Processes
This chapter considers the data measurement, analysis, modelling and interpretation techniques associated with kerogen’s conversion into petroleum fluids, thermal maturity and petroleum generation in organic-r...

Chapter
Organic and Inorganic Porosity, and Controls of Hydrocarbon Storage in Shales
Porosity is a primary characterization parameter for organic-rich shales, as gas/oil exists within the pore spaces within these formations. Careful analysis and quantification of the various attributes of the ...
