Cover Story: The process of hydrocarbon generation is a function of kerogen content, type, and its maturity. During the past decade, organic-rich shales have been studied extensively, while kerogen, as one of their main constituents, is not well understood. Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive method to investigate the thermal maturity of kerogen at the molecular level. The thermal advance of kerogen makes clusters of aromatic bands and causes the reduction of heteroatoms. This evolution is perceived by Raman spectroscopy directly to build a realistic molecular model for kerogen. View the paper here.
