The transformation of hydrothermal processes in sediments is accompanied by the transformation of organic matter. Work presents an analysis of the change in the composition of the bitumoid of domanic sediments of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province with thermal effects on the specimen of the kerogen containing formation. The laboratory modelling of the katagenesis process on domanic rock sample was conducted in autoclave at a pressure of 50 atm, at a temperature range of 200-350 °C with the addition of water, and ...

Today, as a result of the depletion of low- and medium-density oil deposits, the world faces the problem of increasing oil production by involving non-traditional, alternative sources of hydrocarbon raw materials, which include fuel shale. In the area of the Volga-Ural oil and gas province, tight shale hydrocarbons reserves are located in domanic sediments. Quantity and spatial distribution of organic matter of domanic species remains underinvestigated. Assessment of oil potential, generation of mobile hydrocarbon...
