Abstract:
Exactly how maturation, generation and primary migration in and from source rocks works at the nano-scale remains largely a mystery. The theories and concepts rely mostly on destructive analytical techniques that by their nature do not allow direct observation or analysis of these processes. New technology such as ToF-SIMS and Re-Os dating are beginning to unravel these important processes in source rocks.
