Geochemical Characteristics of Expelled and Residual Oil from Artificial Thermal Maturation of an Early Permian Tasmanite Shale, Australia

Lipid biomarkers play an important role in defining oil-source rock correlations. A fundamental assumption is that composition (or ratios) of biomarkers in oil is not significantly different from that in bitumen in the source rock. In order to compare the geochemical characteristics of expelled oil...

description Lipid biomarkers play an important role in defining oil-source rock correlations. A fundamental assumption is that composition (or ratios) of biomarkers in oil is not significantly different from that in bitumen in the source rock.
