Abstract:Organic-rich shale oil reservoirs with low-medium maturity
have
attracted increasing attention because of their enormous oil and gas
potential. In this work, a series of experiments on pyrolysis of the
particle and core samples were carried out in a self-made supercritical
water pyrolysis apparatus to evaluate the feasibility and benefits
of supercritical water in promoting the transformation efficiency
and oil yield of the low-medium maturity organic-rich shale. Core
samples had a mass loss of 8.4% under supe… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
