Laser Raman spectroscopy parameters of pure organic matter (e.g., vitrinite, solid bitumen) in sedimentary rocks have been widely applied for maturity determination, but there is a lack of relevant ...

Understanding how mature the organic matter is within sedimentary rocks helps geoscientists to assess whether a formation has generated hydrocarbons. Traditionally, this is done by measuring vitrinite ...

Minerva Engineering, a global leader in UV-visible-NIR microscopy and microspectroscopy, is pleased to announce the launch of Coal Dragon ™, the latest-generation Vitrinite Reflectance Measurement ...

Scientists have developed a new method using Raman spectroscopy and machine learning to estimate organic maturity in rocks, crucial for oil exploration where traditional tests fail. Image Credit: ...
