Kerogen Types and Unconventional Energy Resources

Kerogen is an important element in the production of petroleum and natural gas. It consists of 4 different types, each tending to mature into some form of petroleum product. Type I is mainly petroleum, type II can produce oil and gas, and type II is mainly gas producing kerogen. Type IV is considered a "dead oil" and does not produce any producible hydrocarbons. There are three main types of production that can be seen with many different non-traditional resources, and this report is a summary of some of the ways each type and each formation / resource can be produced I will discuss the most important examples.

Abstract: "Energy resources are the foundation of contemporary social, social and economic development. Due to the increasing demand for energy resources worldwide, fluctuations in high oil prices, demand for society and the environment, we inevitably need fossil fuels To alternative energy sources Petroleum resources are turning into non-traditional petroleum resources Because of the low carbon economy, the oil industry converts petroleum resources that do not fit into the current form into traditional petroleum resources of the future, I am faced with the task of prolonging the cycle.

Conventional and non-traditional resources (Figure 1). Oil shale is a special resource, special resources are not affected by fluid dynamics and buoyancy. Oil shale is fine shale sandstone of shale, silt stone, mar. They contain a lot of organic matter called "kerogen". As rocks warm, organic matter releases oil. It can extract a considerable amount of shale oil and flammable gas from kerogen by destructive distillation. The organic matter in the oil shale consists mainly of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and a small amount of sulfur and nitrogen. It forms a complex macromolecular structure and is insoluble in common organic solvents. Because of its insolubility, the kerogen must be distilled at a temperature of about 500 ° C. in order to convert it to petroleum and natural gas. Oil shale deposits are ubiquitous all over the world. There, we use the heating oil shale method and manufacture these oils using these methods
