Origin and Distribution of Large Asphaltite in South China [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2020 Large quantities of Triassic solid asphaltite were discovered in the Guangyuan area, northwest Sichuan. The asphaltite is formed in layers with a vertical thickness between 0.3 and 2.8 m and is stably distributed with intrusive contact with surrounding rocks. This study aims on the genesis and distribution of asphaltite through trace element, biomarker,

Organoporosity evaluation of shale: a case study of the Lower Silurian Longmaxi Shale in southeast Chongqing, China. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2014 The organopores play an important role in determining total volume of hydrocarbons in shale gas reservoir. The Lower Silurian Longmaxi Shale in southeast Chongqing was selected as a case to confirm the contribution of organopores (microscale and nanoscale pores within organic matters in shale) formed by hydrocarbon generation to total volume of ...

Molecular structure evolution of asphaltite-modified bitumens during ageing; Comparisons with equivalent petroleum bitumens [PDF]
International Journal of Pavement Research and Technology, 2017 This work focuses on the molecular structure evolution of asphaltite-modified paving bitumens during ageing. In order to quantify the effect of ageing on the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of bitumens, a new parameter, called hereafter the ageing ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Recent studies have shown that biosignatures of ancient microbial life exist in mineral coatings in deep bedrock fractures of Precambrian cratons, but such surveys have been few and far between. Here, we report results from southwestern Sweden in an area of 1.6–1.5 Ga Paleoproterozoic rocks heavily reworked by the 1.14–0.96 Ga Sveconorwegian ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 7-18, January 2023., 2023 Abstract In the present study, we investigated the possibility of identifying the source oils of exposed fish using ratios of bicyclic sesquiterpane (bicyclane) chemical biomarkers. In the event of an oil spill, identification of source oil(s) for assessment, or for litigation purposes, typically uses diagnostic ratios of chemical biomarkers to produce
