Abstract:Most oil source correlation
indicators are invalid because of the
high maturity of the deep marine strata. Thus, a suitable indicator
with high thermal stability requires to be established. In this study,
to understand the effect of thermal maturation on the carbon isotopic
composition of unsubstituted aromatics, we performed a number of anhydrous
thermal simulation experiments involving two typical Chinese shales
(lacustrine and marine shales), their corresponding expelled oils,
three crude oils, and their as… Show more
