to evaluate the relationship between total organic carbon (toc) and rock-eval s2 (petroleum potential) of petroleum source rocks, atotal of 180 outcrop samples from the black organic matter–rich facies of mesozoic strata from a locality of southwest of iran wereinvestigated using rock-eval vi pyrolysis and leco carbon analyzer. the linear regression is applied to determine the correlationbetwee...

the oudna field part of the offshore northeastern tunisia, straddles between two structural domains, the tunisian atlas to the north and the pelagian sea to the south. the study of this field has confirmed adequate petroleum system in fahdene formations (albian-cenomanian) and birsa (serravallian) resulting from the combination of several sedimentary, tectonic and thermal factors. to do this, w...

The health risk resulting from benzene exposure in petroleum refineries was calculated using data from the scientific literature from various countries throughout the world. The exposure data was collated into four scenarios from petroleum refinery environments and plotted as cumulative probability distributions (CPD) plots. Health risk was evaluated for each scenario using the Hazard Quotient ...

Five experimental petroleum extracts were produced from luboil distillates derived from Middle East paraffinic crude by solvent extraction and severe hydrotreatment. The polycyclic aromatic content (PCA) of the extracts was determined by dimethyl sulphoxide extraction and ranged from 3.7-9.2% w/w. The five extracts were evaluated for their potential to induce cutaneous and systemic neoplasia in...

the therapeutic potential of crude extracts of aerial parts (stem, leaves and flowers) of tridax procumbens was screened for in vitro antioxidant potential and alpha amylase inhibitory action. the crude hydro-methanolic, aqueous and petroleum ether extracts were obtained by percolation-maceration method using 50% methanol, double distilled water and petroleum ether as solvents. phytochemical sc...

Two recent discoveries have greatly impacted understanding relevant to the origination and emplacement of petroleum and natural gas deposits. One discovery, pertaining to hydrocarbon formation from methane broadens significantly potential regions where abiotic petroleum and natural gas deposits might be found. The other, discovery of the physical impossibility of Earth-mantle convection, restri...
