Organic Geochemical Characteristics, Depositional Environment And Hydrocarbon Potential Of Bituminous Marls In Bozcahüyük (Seyitömer/Kütahya) Basin, Fatih Büyük, Ali Sari
Organic Geochemical Characteristics, Depositional Environment And Hydrocarbon Potential Of Bituminous Marls In Bozcahüyük (Seyitömer/Kütahya) Basin, Fatih Büyük, Ali Sari
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
In this study, the geochemical properties, sedimentation conditions and hydrocarbon potential of the bituminous marls, having quite rich organic carbon content (average 9.27% TOC), composed of gray-green colored, dominant marl lithology with marl-claystone intercalation in the Bozcahüyük (Seyitömer/Kütahya) Basin has been evaluated. In this context, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, Gas Chromatography (GC), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Modified Fischer Assay (MFA) analyses of the samples taken from the study area were performed and their organic facies have been evaluated. The marls have an excellent source rock characteristics, and include kerogen predominantly as Type I and rarely as Type II. The precipitation of …

Depositional Environment And Organic Geochemical Characteristics Of Lower Eocene Bituminous Rocks, In The Kürnüç/Göynük-Bolu Area, Ali Sari, Pelin Akkaya, Ekin Ozakar
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
In this study, dark gray and dark brown colored, organic-carbon rich bituminous rocks (bituminous marl and bituminous shale) exposing around the Kürnüç area (Göynük, Bolu) are investigated by means of organic geochemical characteristics. In this respect, rock lithologies, depositional environments, rock source potential, kerogen and organic maturity types and hydrocarbon generation potentials of bituminous rocks were determined. For this reason, pyrolysis (Rock Eval–VI) analysis, gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) analyses were carried out. In addition, spore color index (SCI) was determined with organic petrographic method and stable carbon analysis (δ13C) of the samples were also conducted. Lithology …
