Source rock potential of the Bakken shales in the Williston Basin, North Dakota and Montana
… where the most enrichment of V and Ni occurs. Oil-generation kinetics were also experimentally derived by the method of hydrous pyrolysis from the immature upper Bakken shale samples. After the whole series of HP experiments, the kinetics (E[subscript a] and A[subscript 0]) of upper Bakken …

RE – OS AND PGE GEOCHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC-RICH SEDIMENTARY ROCKS AND PETROLEUM
… fingerprint data for UK Atlantic margin oils. organic and δ13C geochemical data demonstrate that the oil is sourced from Upper Jurassic marine shales and the Re–Os data yields an age of 68 ± 13 Ma. Comparison of this date with published basin histories and Ar-Ar geochronology demonstrate …

Conodonts of the Bakken Formation (Devonian and Mississippian), Williston Basin, North Dakota
… has reached formation temperatures capable of oil generation at 7,500 feet in depth but may have exceeded oil generation temperatures below 10,000 feet (3,050 m).</p> <p>Lithologic and paleontologic evidence suggests that the carbonaceous shales of the two shale members of the Bakken were …

Geomechanical property changes with hydrous pyrolysis in Mahogany oil shale in Green River Formation
… In order to quantify the behavior of the oil shale samples under thermal maturation, it is imperative to understand its elastic properties. Thus, it becomes vital to understand the shale’s elastic properties via geomechanical analysis of the selected core samples. In this experimental …

Sequence Stratigraphy and Petrophysics of the late Ordovician Utica-Point Pleasant Interval in the Middle Appalachian Basin, Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania
… southwest-northeast trending zones of maximum oil generation, a narrow liquids window, and a wide dry gas window. Maturity maps combined with porosity maps indicate a southwest-northeast trending prospective play fairway of the highest porosity and ideal thermally mature Point Pleasant …

Analysis of petroleum source rocks of the Bakken Formation (Devonian and Mississippian) in North Dakota
… to be sapropelic. The onset of hydrocarbon generation was determined to occur at an average depth of 9,000 feet by interpreting plots of geo chemical parameters with depth (e.g. ratios of hydrocarbon to non hydrocarbon, saturated hydrocarbon to organic carbon, pyrolytic hydro carbon to …

Effect of thermal maturity on nanomechanical properties and porosity in organic rich shales (a Bakken shale case study)
… In self-sourcing mudrocks, maturity (extent of oil generation), porosity and abundance of natural fractures are the main parameters to make them economical. Understanding the elastic properties of self-sourcing formations and their correlation with maturity can provide crucial information about …
