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 пїЅC with the addition of water, an...

In-situ conversion of kerogen from the production of synthetic oil is one of the possible ways to increase the profitability of the development of shale formation. To develop Bazhenov shale, such technologies as in-situ combustion and retorting, presupposing productive layers warming-up can be employed. Laboratory modeling of the thermo-catalytic effect on the kerogen samples of Bazhenov shale was carried out. Before separation kerogen from the rock sample, bitumoids were extracted by means of chloroform. Kerogen ...

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...

The sediments of the of the Middle Franconian stage of the Upper Devonian along the cut contain the maximum amount of dispersed organic matter. This rock complex is the main oil producing stratum for most oil and gas fields on the territory of the Volga-Ural basin. The Semiluks horizon is represented by three types of sections: typical of Dominic and transitional ones. In Sargaevian sedimentation occurred under conditions of a shallow, epicontinental, open sea with normal salinity of water. The parameters of kerog...
