Organic petrographic and organic geochemical studies have been conducted on 58
sediment samples of differing ages and depositional environments. In this study …

Fluorescence observation carried out as a complement to the microscopic study of organic
matter, renews the petrology of coal components, by improving the diagnosis of …

Organic matter in sedimentary sequences ranges from finely disseminated occurrences of
kerogen to concentrated organic matter in coals. Kerogen, the organic fraction which is …

The development of organic source rock petrology depended on the methods applied. A
procedure derived from coal petrology is the study of polished sections of the untreated rock …

In pursuing the detection of hydrocarbons in sedimentary rocks by conventional petrological
methods, an attempt has been made to correlate standard fluorescence parameters with the …

Organic matter incorporated into sediments may act as a source of petroleum depending on
inter alia, the type of organic matter, its depth of burial and the geothermal gradient. A …

Although organic petrology and organic geochemistry differ greatly in age, it is during the
last 25 years that there has been an almost exponential expansion of research and literature …

The term oil shale is a misnomer and little agreement nas oeen possible, in the past, as to a
definition of oil shale or the nature and origin of the organic matter. Many definitions of oil …

Organic petrographic and geochemical studies of 50 kerogens obtained from sediment
samples of differing ages, depositional environments and rank have been performed …

Geochemical screening is routinely integrated into larger exploration (and sometimes
development) programs that also include assessments of the geological setting …
