AbstractMaturation dependent generation of organic compounds from North Sea source rocks has been investigated by hydrous pyrolysis of powdered source rock samples. The generation of water soluble organic acids is emphasised, and their composition compared with oil-field water samples. Similar compositions are found. Matrix adsorption effects are not found to be quantitatively important. Timing of acid generation relative to oil generation is discussed. Effects of realistic concentrations of a volatile organic acid in the water phase on interfacial tension is determined, and effects on fluid flow of crude oil through water-saturated sandstone is investigated using a long-core flow-rig.
