Hochsch., Diss., 2015 AB - This doctoral thesis deals with a suite of drilling cores and outcrop samples of the Lower Toarcian Posidonia Shale (PS) collected from multiple locations covering a vast area including the Swabian Alb (SA) and Franconian Alb (FA) of Southwest-Germany, Wenzen well (WEN) of Hils syncline, northern Germany, Runswick Bay of UK, Loon op Zand well (LOZ-1) of the West Netherlands Basin (WNB) and the Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg (LU). Based on a series of laboratory measurements, firstly, shale oil potential was assessed including thermal maturity. In order to quantify the petroleum generation potential of the rocks a large set of experimental analyses was conducted including elemental analysis, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, organic petrographic investigations and molecular hydrocarbon analyses. Secondly, three types of depositional environments of the Posidonia Shale from these six different sampling localities were deduced mainly based on organic geochemical characteristics.The Lower Toarcian Shale is more carbonate-rich (about 30 LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)11 UR - https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/561906 ER -
