Direct TOC Quantification in unconventional Kerogen-rich Shale Resource Play from Elemental Spectroscopy Measurements: A Case Study from North Kuwait

Abstract: The deep organic-rich calcareous Kerogen of North Kuwait, a continuous 50ft thinly alternating carbonate -organic-rich argillaceous sequence, is not only a source rock but has gained importance as potential reservoirs themselves of typical unconventional category. Resource play or Kerogen characterization relies on quantifying total organic carbon (TOC) and estimating accurate mineralogy. This paper describes the first attempt to directly measure total organic carbon of the Limestone-Kerogen sequence.For the p… Show more
