Release of bound aliphatic biomarkers via hydropyrolysis from Type II kerogen at high maturity

At relatively low maturity, kerogen-bound aliphatic biomarkers invariably display retardedmaturity compared to their ‘‘free” counterparts as a result of the protection afforded by themacromolecular structure. This study investigates the release of hopanes and steranes atelevated (post oil window) ma...
