Kerogens Quality

Increased knowledge of the molecular transformations which occur during oil shale pyrolysis (retorting) is essential for maximizing the yield and quality of products from this vast source of hydrocarbons. Compared to other sources such as petroleum and coal, there is little known about the molecular structure of the insoluble organic material (kerogen) in oil shale. There is... [Pg.305]

Kerogen content The type and quantity defines the quality of the source rock material and correlates to the hydrocarbon generation efficiency. The kerogen content also provides indications of source rock maturity and residual hydrocarbon generation capacity. [Pg.375]
