Multi-gas detection represents a suitable solution in many applications, such as
environmental and atmospheric monitoring, chemical reaction and industrial process …

The origin of natural gases, in particular those containing methane (CH 4 or C 1), ethane (C
2 H 6 or C 2), propane (C 3 H 8 or C 3) and carbon dioxide (CO 2), is commonly interpreted …

Abstract The Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic successions of the Zagros Fold and Thrust
Belt (ZFTB) of Iran are endowed with prolific petroleum systems. The Sarchahan―Dalan …

A quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) sensor capable to detect high
concentrations of methane (C1) and ethane (C2) is here reported. The hydrocarbons …

Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy represents a valuable candidate for natural
gas analysis in the oil & gas field. The core element of this spectroscopy technique is a …

Current approaches relating thermogenic gases to either shale source rocks (predominantly
type II kerogen) or coal source rocks (predominantly type III kerogen) are not reliable and not …

Abstract The Zagros Fold-and-Thrust Belt is one of the world's richest hydrocarbon regions,
with Palaeozoic sediments being a key element in hydrocarbon plays. The main aim of this …

Accurate determination of water saturation is a critical aspect of reservoir characterization
and development potential of a hydrocarbon field. The inherent heterogeneity in carbonate …

A significant phase of global warming appeared during the Llandovery and productive
Silurian hot shale was preserved all over the world. The lower Silurian shale is the main …

This study focuses on the thermal maturity of Permian deposits from the Zagros Basin,
Southwest Iran, employing both optical methods (Thermal Alteration Index, Palynomorph …
