Organic petrography via incident light microscopy has broad application to shale petroleum
systems, including delineation of thermal maturity windows and determination of organo …

The geological debate about whether, and to what extent, humic coals have sourced oil is
likely to continue for some time, despite some important advances in our knowledge of the …

Solid bitumen is a common organic component of thermally mature shales and typically is
identified by embayment against euhedral mineral terminations and by groundmass …

Vitrinite consists of a number of macerals with varying morphology and reflectance. Although
vitrinite reflectance (VR) generally increases with increasing depth of burial, a spread of …

Abstract The Raman Maturity Method (RaMM) is a non-graphical technique for thermal
maturity determination based on the multi-linear regression analysis of parameters derived …

Petrographic investigations of serial ply samples from five high-to medium-volatile
bituminous coal seams from Australia (4) and Canada (1) reveal substantial in-seam …

This work analyses a set of perhydrous coals (mainly composed of huminite/vitrinite maceral
group) in order to determine the inter-relations between the hydrogen content and the …

Thermal maturity was determined for about 120 core, cuttings, and outcrop samples to
investigate the potential for coalbed gas resources in Pennsylvanian strata of north-central …

Three Australian Permian bituminous coals from well-documented geological settings
chosen to cover a range of rank, and orthohydrous, subhydrous and perhydrous vitrinite …

Dispersed organic matter (DOM) inclusions have been recovered from crater, diatreme and
diatreme xenoliths within hypabyssal facies of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in the Lac de …
