Visual Kerogen Analysis for Source Rocks Assessment: A Case Study of Some Subsurface Cretaceous (Valanginian-Cenomanian) Strata from Shushan Basin, Northern Western Desert, Egypt
In the Shushan Basin, we examined the organic matter under transmitted light microscopy for spore coloration index (SCI) and kerogen type assessment. We used this index to estimate tentative values of the Thermal Alteration Index (TAI) and the Vitrinite Reflectance (Ro) that are equivalent to these SCI values on available standard color charts. Based on that, we inferred the degree of the thermal ...
