Abstract: Abstract The Expulsinator provides a new technique to simulate generation and expulsion of hydrocarbons under near-natural conditions. This is realized by application of lithostatic pressure onto an intact source rock disc with undisturbed mineral matrix… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract There have been few systematic studies on the relationship between shale nano-pore formation and evolution and its oil generation and expulsion since geological samples are confined by both maturities and compositions. A low maturity… read more here.
