Vitrinite reflectance measurements determine the maturation levels of organic matter and define zones of oil and gas generation within a particular interval. Vitrinite reflectance, together with maceral description, provides information about the type of organic matter present and can be used to help differentiate between in-situ generated hydrocarbons and migrated oil and to identify the presence of contamination.
I need an equipment for Vitrinite Reflectance measurements ISO 7404 for coals and organic matter source rocks as a supplement to the already existing reflected light microscope,
MSP200 Photometer (TIDAS j&m) is suitable equipment for vitrinite reflectance measurement in coals and shale. This equipment is also adaptable for the Leica microscope.
