Redox-sensitive transition group elements are involved in almost all fundamental
geochemical processes. Of these elements, vanadium (V) contributes a particularly powerful …

Determination of sulfur and deleterious trace elements in crude oil has long been an area of
active investigation and still attracting interest due to their undesirable economic …

Abstract The Moxi–Gaoshiti Bulge of the Sichuan Basin in southwestern China is unique
because it provides insights into the geochemistry of Lower Cambrian reservoir bitumens …

Re–Os geochronology of oil may constrain the timing of oil formation and improve oil-source
and oil–oil correlations. Typically, asphaltene (ASPH), the heaviest and most Re–Os rich oil …

Natural gas in the recently discovered Lower Cambrian Longwangmiao giant gas reservoir
of the Sichuan Basin in southwestern China has been considered to be from oil-cracking …

Understanding the relationships between migrated hydrocarbons and source rocks under
highly mature conditions (ie, pyrobitumen–source correlation) is a critical and challenging …

The use of rare earth elements (REE) for oil–source correlation has not yet been
established. In order to evaluate the potential of REE as proxies for oil–source correlation …

Benue Trough basin is geologically subdivided into three segments. It consists of marine
and continental sediments that are affected by folding movements. In the upper section, the …

The east section of the south slope of the Dongying Sag is rich in oil and gas resources, with
diverse reservoir types and complex physical properties of crude oil. It has typical …

This study focuses on the geochemical investigation of source rock samples from three
different wells of upper shale unit (Lower Goru Formation; Lower Indus Basin). Samples …
