APPARECCHIATURA PER PERMETTERE LA VALUTIONE RAPIDA DEL POTENZIA LE DI PRODUZIONE PETROLIFERD DI SEDIMENTI GEOLOGICI SULLA BASE DI PICCOLO PRELIEVI E METODO RELA TIVO

摘要

The method comprises the steps of heating a sample of sediments, determining a group of two parameters S1 and S2 which represent, respectively, the amounts of at least one hydrocarbon compound and of at least one oxygen-containing compound formed by heating the organic material contained in the sediment, and evaluating from the determination of this group of parameters the capacity of the sediments to constitute a good mother rock (i.e. source) for hydrocarbons.
