Recovery of oil from oil shales and the natural primary migration of hydrocarbons are closely related processes that have received renewed interests in recent years because of the ever tightening supply of
conventional hydrocarbons. However, better understanding how hydrocarbons escape the source rocks (primary migration) is needed.
In this study, it is shown how insight into hydrocarbon migration in source rocks can be obtained by using sequential high-resolution synchrotron X-ray tomography...
