Reservoir organic geochemistry: Processes and applications

This Special Issue of the “Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering” is devoted to organic geochemistry and published in honor of Dr Alain-Yves Huc. Alain has been involved in promoting and developing reservoir geochemistry as a tool in the field development and exploitation problem solving toolbox. This volume includes general papers on the potential interest of organic geochemistry for production purposes and discusses some physical processes such as hydrocarbon/water interactions and TSR (Thermochemical Sulfate Reduction). It presents new analytical techniques and shows industrial field applications, demonstrating the potential contribution of organic geochemistry in enhancing hydrocarbon production.
