Abstract:One of the key parameters in assessing the production potential of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs is the quantification of organic matter, which is generally determined by pyrolysis. Laboratory nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is widely used in the oil industry; being a nondestructive method, it enables the possibility to perform several analyses on the same sample, which is desirable due to the heterogeneity of these types of geological formations. 13 C spectra provide much information, from speciation… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
