Gas-generation potential estimation of silurian shale deposits of Volhyno-Podillya margin of East European platform
Purpose. Estimation of gas-shale potential of rocks on the base of experimental researches of core-samples and thermobaric terms determination, that are most favorable for the emission of gaseous hydrocarbons from rocks. Methodology. Research of molecular structure and physical and chemical properties in the organic constituent of shale samples was executed by EPR- and FTIR- spectroscopy methods. As addition to the research basic methods, the results of X-ray fluorescence analysis (XFA) were used.
