Abstract:Unconventional resources have emerged as one of the crucial alternatives to the rapidly depleting of conventional hydrocarbon resources. The hydrocarbon potential of shale source rocks is assessed by the percentage of the organic index such as total organic carbon (TOC). Correct estimation of TOC is very important since minor deviations in anticipated results can lead to wastage of investments and time. A slight improvement in estimation practices, on the other hand, can increase the value of an exploration pr… Show more
