REVIEW OF SOURCE ROCK MATURITY EVALUATION BY ORGANIC PETROLOGY METHOD

Abstract

Abstract: Organic maturity is an important problem in evaluation of source rocks.From the view of the historical retrospects and future prospects of organic petrology, the application effectiveness on evaluating source rock maturity by three optical methods of organic petrology, such as transmitted light, reflected light and fluorescence was elaborated, respectively, and their appropriate range, existed problem and the realm which should be strengthened and deepened to study were pointed out in this paper.

Key words: Source bed, Gas source rock, Organic matter maturity, Organic geochemistry, Evaluation, Transmitted light, Reflected light, Fluorescence
