Kerogen immature oil
Kerogen, complex waxy mixture of hydrocarbon compounds that is the primary organic component of oil shale. Kerogen consists mainly of paraffin hydrocarbons, though the solid mixture also incorporates nitrogen and sulfur. Kerogen is insoluble in water and in organic solvents such as benzene or alcohol. Oil shale is an organic-rich fine-grained sedimentary rock containing kerogen (a solid mixture of organic chemical compounds) from which liquid hydrocarbons can be produced, called shale oil (not to be confused with tight oil—crude oil occurring naturally in shales). Kerogen is solid, insoluble organic matter in sedimentary rocks. Consisting of an estimated 1016 tons of carbon, it is the most abundant source of organic compounds on earth, exceeding the total organic content of living matter by 10,000 fold. It is insoluble in normal organic solvents and it does not have a specific chemical formula. Upon heating, kerogen converts in part to liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. Petroleum and natural gas form from kerogen. Kerogen may be classified by its origin: la Immature < 435 Oil (from type II kerogen) 435–455 Oil (from type III kerogen) 435–465 Gas (from type II kerogen) > 455 Gas (from type III kerogen) > 465 The dark-colored hydrocarbon solid known as kerogen gives rise to the fuels that power many of our daily activities: Petroleum is the source of gasoline and diesel fuels, and natural gas is used for cooking, heating, and increasingly for producing electricity. And yet, kerogen’s basic internal structure has remained poorly understood — until now. A … Description This course covers the numerical log analysis methods for evaluating oil shales with immature kerogen, such as those in the Green River Basin in Utah and Colorado, Immature oil shales must be distinguished from tight oil plays with mature kerogen, sometimes called shale oil or oil shale plays (Lecture 34).
When the inorganic materials are in proper temperature and pressure, the organic material become a source rock, sometimes called kerogen. Oil shale can be considered as an organic-rich but immature source rock from which has little oil or none has been generated and expelled. Source rocks are classified from the kerogen type.
1 Apr 2017 show that the degree of thermal maturity is in the range of immature to early kerogen type [25], generated hydrocarbon type (oil or gas) and with different oil- or gas-prone kerogen types and maturity is particularly g/cm3 were built to represent an immature sulphur-rich type-II kerogen from the kerogen content and type on the shale oil generation in different pyrolysis sys- gen type for immature source rock, as well as for OM maturity, are listed in. Source Rocks and Maturity; Oil Chemistry and Migration The definition of mature versus immature zones in Type I kerogen source rocks is somewhat difficult 24 Mar 2006 The results of the experiments show that soluble organic matter made a greater contribution than kerogen to the immature oil (76% versus 15 Apr 2019 case of oil-prone type I and type II kerogen, can lead to errors in carbon content induced by thermal maturation, TOC contents of 40 immature. However, this approach relies on visual kerogen data from immature samples, which were not available from the Yanchang Chang 7
Extracts of immature kerogen samples in NMP showed behaviour that could be Type II kerogens are also considered as oil-prone, with intermediate atomic
For the kerogen concentrates, the intensity of the CH 3 bands is higher in the immature and oil-mature samples (Wenzen and Harderode) than in the overmature Pötzen and NWG-gas shale. The same holds true for the C C oscillation intensity, although the signal is stronger at high maturity than that of the aliphatic peaks, indicating a dominance When the inorganic materials are in proper temperature and pressure, the organic material become a source rock, sometimes called kerogen. Oil shale can be considered as an organic-rich but immature source rock from which has little oil or none has been generated and expelled. Source rocks are classified from the kerogen type. (T/F) Shale oil is the oil that comes from rock bearing immature kerogen after it has been artificially cooked by operators. Oil shale differs from bitumen-impregnated rocks (oil sands and petroleum reservoir rocks), humic coals and carbonaceous shale. While oil sands do originate from the biodegradation of oil, heat and pressure have not (yet) transformed the kerogen in oil shale into petroleum, that means that its maturation does not exceed early mesocatagenetic.

I am very grateful to the Center for Petroleum Geochemistry at the University of n-butane, and i-butane with kerogen isolated from a thermally-immature Green.
