1 | Major tar sand and heavy oil deposits of the United States | 1985-07 | major tar sand; heavy oil deposits; heavy oil resources; tar sand resources; United States | This paper presents a current assessment of U.S. tar sand and heavy oil resources. It is based on an independent appraisal of all tar sand deposits with 100 million barrels in place or more and the construction of a heavy oil reservoir and data base of fields containing more than 20 million barrels ... | |
2 | Organic petrology and rock-eval studies on oil shales from the Lower Carboniferous Rocky Brook Formation, Western Newfloundland | 1989-03 | organic petrology; rock-eval studies; oil shales; Lower Carboniferous Rocky Brook Formation; microscopy and geochemical analysis; rock-eval pyrolysis | Nine samples of oil shale from the Carboniferous Rocky Brook Formation along Rocky Brook in western Newfoundland were studied by incident light microscopy and geochemical analysis (Rock-Eval pyrolysis) to determine the maceral components, geochemical type, and maturation level of the kerogen fractio... | |
3 | Sources and deposition of organic matter in the Monterey Formation, South-Central Coastal basins of California | 1987-11-02 | organic matter; Monterey Formation; Californial ; marine algal debris | The abundant organic matter in the Monterey Formation is commonly considered to be derived from marine algal debris rapidly deposited in anoxic bottom water during a period of high surface plankton productivity. However, many aspects of the distribution of organic matter in the Monterey of the south... | |
4 | Sulphur isotope abundances in petroleum and associated materials | 1958-11 | sulphur isotope; petroleum; isotopes of sulphur; sulphur isotope abundances; treatment of oil samples | A study has been made of the sulphur isotope ratios for petroleum from many different oil fields in the United States and Canada. The S34/S32 ratio for petroleum varies by about 4.5 per cent as compared with a total spread of about 9 per cent for terrestrial sulphur. The single large oil pools appea... |
