Color Analysis Of Organic Constituents In Sedimentary Rocks For Thermal Maturity
US Patent:
5233409, Aug 3, 1993
Filed:
Feb 25, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/841063
Inventors:
Karl W. Schwab - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01J 350
US Classification:
356402
Abstract:
In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, the state of the thermal maturity of organic matter extracted from a sedimentary rock sample is determined by using a microscope in combination with a color video camera to provide an image of the organic matter in transmitted and filtered light, using the output of the camera to compute RGB and HSB values for a selected area of the image on a per-pixel basis, and plotting values integrated over the selected area in the form of a thermal maturation pathway from which a likelihood that oil has been generated in the rock can be determined.
