Evaluation of source rock potential of tertiary coals in Labuan, Malaysia

Potential of hydrocarbon generation of coals as an oil-generating source has been discussed by several researches and findings. Laboratory approach of kerogen thermal degradation is commonly performed to simulate the maturation of petroleum source rock compared to the longer geological period. This...
