Title: ORGCHEM Petroleum Source Rock Database; BMR, Australia

Description:

Abstract:

ORGCHEM is a relational database that contains organic geochemical data used for petroleum source rock assessment. The majority of data is from petroleum exploration wells drilled offshore and onshore Australia. Limited data from selected overseas areas of interest to BMR research activities. Company petroleum well completion reports are the major source of data. Data includes the basin, well and formation name, age, upper and lower depth, sample and rock type, total organic carbon, mean and minimum and maximum vitrinite reflectance, TAI, SCI, percentage alginite, exinite, vitrinite, and inertinite. Solvent extract data includes wt. of rock, extract, extract used, wt of saturated, aromatic, polar and asphaltene components. Elemental composition includes percentage carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen, iron, and ash. Additional data held outside the database includes GC, GCMS, pyrolysis-GC, and stable isotopes. The data base is 10 Mbytes. It is available for $5000 (total database) from the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Australia (FED/BMR).
