Marilyn Monroe knew that “diamonds are a girl's best friend” but, in the meantime, many
chemists have realized that they are also extremely attractive objects in contemporary …

Oil–source correlation in the cratonic region of the Tarim Basin, NW China has long been
controversial. Current knowledge of the potential source rock distribution, end-member …

A large amount of deep oil has been discovered in the Tazhong Uplift, Tarim Basin whereas
the oil source is still controversial. An integrated geochemical approach was utilized to …

The Lunnan Lower Uplift in the Tarim Basin, NW China contains a composite petroleum
system with mainly biodegraded heavy oil in the west, normal oil in the center and gas …

A total of 108 drill stem test (DST) crude oil samples and 10 reservoir fluid inclusion samples
were investigated geochemically to identify the characteristics and origin of the crude oil in …

A series of isothermal hydrous pyrolysis experiments was performed on immature
sedimentary rocks and peats of different lithology and organic source input to explore the …

Crude oil gradually cracks into gas with increasing temperature and reservoir depth under
geological conditions. Therefore, liquid oil is rarely preserved on a large-scale in ancient …

Deeply buried heavy oils from the Tabei Uplift of the Tarim Basin have been investigated for
their source origin, charge and accumulation time, biodegradation, mixing and thermal …

Abstract The Shuntuoguole Low Uplift in Tarim Basin is particular because it provides
insights into geochemistry of light oils at ultra-deep Ordovician oil reservoirs (7200–8200 m) …
