1 Atomistic modeling of oil shale kerogen and asphaltenes2010-04-28Kerogen is a mixture of organic chemical compounds that make up a portion of the organic matter in sedimentary rocks. It is insoluble in normal organic solvents because of the large molecular weight (upwards of several thousand Daltons). When heated in the Earth's crust (oil window ca. 60 ° - 120 �...
