Thermal cracking of oil under water pressure up to 900 bar at high thermal maturities. 1. gas compositions and carbon isotopes

In this study, a C9+ fraction of saturate-rich Tertiary source rock-derived oil from the South China Sea basin was pyrolyzed in normal and supercritical water using a 25 mL vessel at a range of temperature from 350 to 425 °C for 24 h, to probe pressure effects up to 900 bar on gas yields and their s...
