Greetings Research Gate community,
I have been bugged for some time now about this question. this is the third time i encounter this case:
A high TOC concent measured by a LECO elemental analyser (3% wt). Compared to this, the parameters i get in the Rock Eval analysis are very poor: very low S1, low S2 (about 0,2 mg/g) and also a low S3.
the samples are shales from varying formations (Upper Devonian, Mesosoïc,...)
could anyone help me with this question please? some references could help too.
