This webinar will explore how palynological data - one of the most used biostratigraphic disciplines - can be applied to characterize hydrocarbon source rocks. Different types of organic particles will be oil or gas-prone or inert and their identification and quantification are key to characterize source rocks, beyond simple geochemical analyses.

Webinar Objectives

You will learn to recognize different organic particle types and their potential as sources of fluids (oil or gas). The ways to quantify and define kerogen types will be addressed and how that relates to geochemical results. We will explore how the thermal maturation of rocks influences hydrocarbon generation.
