2022, Journal of Petroleum Science and EngineeringCitation Excerpt :A sudden increase in transformation ratios was observed in the Mio-Pliocene rifting event (∼6.0–5.2 Ma) due to the increased heat flow in this event and continued during the post-rift subsidence. The threshold for primary migration (expulsion) of liquid hydrocarbons is a conventional value (Quigley and Mackenzie 1988; Espitalie et al. 1988b; Ungerer 1990). The time of expulsion was calculated under the conditions that 20% of the source rock volume should be saturated by generated hydrocarbons (Ungerer 1990).
Vertical and lateral changes in organic matter from the Mesozoic, eastern Paris Basin (France): Variability of sources and burial history
2011, International Journal of Coal GeologyCitation Excerpt :Because its simple geometry and accessibility due to the relatively shallow depth of burial (up to 3000 m at the center of the basin), it has been used as a model for the understanding of kinetic reactions for the thermal evolution of organic matter (MacKenzie and MacKenzie, 1983; MacKenzie et al., 1980, 1981; Tissot et al., 1971). The French Institute of Petroleum (IFP) has contributed widely to the study of the petroleum system of the Paris Basin (Espitalié et al., 1987a,b; Poulet and Espitalié, 1987). Among the numerous sedimentary formations encountered within the basin, Toarcian shales (Lower Jurassic) form the main source rock and their organic matter has been used to study burial diagenesis (e.g., Alpern and Cheymol, 1978) and paleo-depositional environments (e.g., Huc, 1976).
Atmospheric methane from organic carbon mobilization in sedimentary basins - The sleeping giant?
2011, Earth-Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Petroleum is here defined as including all hydrocarbons from crude oil to natural gas. Source rocks in thoroughly explored basins are estimated to have generated several orders of magnitude more petroleum than the amount found in conventional oil and gas accumulations (McDowell, 1975; Espitalié et al., 1988; Demaison and Huizingia, 1991; Price, 1994). Considering the rate of modern seepage, it becomes apparent that leaking reservoirs (Leythaeuser et al., 1982) or the destruction of reservoirs due to tectonic processes and erosion (Lewan et al., 2002) alone cannot account for the observed leakage.
