Aspects of Burial Diagenesis, Organic Maturation and Palaeothermal History of an Area in the South Viking Graben, North Sea

Abstract
A detailed study has been made of changes in interlayered clay minerals, sediment mineralogy, vitrinite reflectance, kerogen composition, and chemistry of the soluble organic extract through Well 16/22-2 in the South Viking Graben. The well sampled sediments range in age from Oligocene to, at total depth, Middle Jurassic (Dogger).
