Application of superheated water extraction in geochemical evaluation of source rocks

Application of superheated water was investigated for the extraction organic compounds of petroleum exploration importance. Using Niger Delta samples as a case study, the geochemical ratios and parameters were calculated from n-alkane and isoprenoid hydrocarbon data. The pristane/phytane, pristane/n...
