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

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...

Geochemical Evaluation of Oils and Source Rocks and Oil-source Rock Correlations, Sub-andean Basins, Peru

Investigation of Hydrogen Sulfide Oil Pollution Source: Asmari Oil Reservoir of Marun Oil Field in the Southwest of Iran

hydrocarbon source rock evaluation by using the rock-eval: evaluation of the garu and gadvan formations in the high zagros area in the north of dezful embayment

rock-eval pyrolysis and oxidation are the most widely used methods by exploration companies for identifying and evaluating potential source rocks in sedimentary basins. in this article, these methods and the parameters resulted from their application are first  explained.  then,  based on screened data resulted from analyzing 499 outcrop samples by using rock-eval pyrolysis and oxidation method...

Chemometrics-enhanced Classification of Source Rock Samples Using their Bulk Geochemical Data: Southern Persian Gulf Basin

Chemometric methods can enhance geochemical interpretations, especially when working with large datasets. With this aim, exploratory hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) methods are used herein to study the bulk pyrolysis parameters of 534 samples from the Persian Gulf basin. These methods are powerful techniques for identifying the patterns of variations i...

Can Rock - Eval pyrolysis assess the biogeochemical composition of 1 organic matter during peatification ?

Understanding the responses of soil organic carbon to an increase in global temperature is crucial to estimate potential feedbacks on global warming. In such a context, Rock-Eval pyrolysis has been recently proposed as a screening tool to investigate soil organic matter (SOM) chemistry and vulnerability. In order to test the validity of Rock-Eval as an indicator of SOM chemistry and of OM trans...
