The results of an experimental study on the thermal and organic geochemical
investigation of Seyitomer oil shale sample are presented. Thermogravimetr
y (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have been used to de
termine the thermal behaviour of the oil shale sample. On the other hand, o
rganic carbon content, rock-eval pyrolysis, and gas and liquid chromatograp
hy experiments were conducted to determine geochemical properties of the oi
l shale sample, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
