AN NMR SURVEY OF UNITED STATES OIL SHALES

License(s):

Other (Open)

Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance techniques were used to measure the fraction of aliphatic carbon in oil shales from US deposits, ranging in age from Ordovician to Tertiary. The aliphatic carbon fraction was shown to correlate with the fraction of organic matter converted to oil during Fischer assay. The fraction of organic matter convertible to oil is a primary factor in evaluating the developability of an oil shale resource. Nuclear magnetic resonance determines this in a nondestructive, easily interpreted bulk analysis of the whole rock.
