Geochemical Characterization of Kazhdumi Source Rock in the Khaviz Oil Field, Southwest of Iran, Using Rock-Eval Pyrolysis

The Khaviz oil field located in Dezful embayment is one of Iran’s southwest oil fields. In this study, a total of 28 cutting samples from Kazhdumi formation (well No. KZ1, Khaviz oil field) were subject to geochemical investigation using Rock-Eval pyrolysis for the first time. The results of pyrolysis indicated that Kazhdumi source rock has significant hydrocarbon production potentiality and al...

Organic Geochemical Evaluation of Madbi Source Rock, Al-Jawf Basin, NE Central Yemen

Organic geochemical evaluation of the Madbi Formation as the main source rock of the Al-Jawf Basin, NE Central Yemen was the main objective of this study. The organic geochemical methods used in the study include: rock-eval pyrolysis, total organic carbon, and optical measurements as the vitrinite reflectance and thermal alteration index. In this study, 67 well core and side-well core samples o...

Pyrolysis of Tobacco Residue: Part 1. Thermal

The pyrolysis of two types of tobacco residue was carried out at different pyrolysis temperatures between 300 and 600 °C and a residence time of 1 h in a nitrogen atmosphere. The effect of pyrolysis temperature on the product distributions was investigated and the composition of the bio-oils identified. The variation in product distribution depended on both the temperature and the type of tobac...

Source Rock Evaluation and Maturity Levels of the Rudeis Formation, Northern Gulf of Suez, Egypt, Using Well Log Analysis and Rock-Eval Pyrolysis

Gamma-ray, density, sonic, resistivity and neutron are the commonly used wireline logs to identify and quantify source rocks. Several models were developed to use the conventional wireline logs for evaluating the thermal maturity of the source rocks and calculating the total organic carbon (TOC) content. Application of Schmockr and Hester [1] approach with some required modifications for the Ru...
