A method of determining the in situ pressure of a light hydrocarbon in a shale source rock formation comprising: providing an inclusion comprising the light hydrocarbon trapped within the inclusion; using Raman spectroscopy to determine the density and composition of the light hydrocarbon trapped within the inclusion; and calculating a pressure of the light hydrocarbon in the shale source rock formation based upon the density and composition of the light hydrocarbon trapped within the inclusion.

Methods for estimating resource density using raman spectroscopy of inclusions in shale resource plays

Methods for constraining basin models to forecast the presence and maturity of hydrocarbon in a basin. The method involves determining a Curie depth at a location at the basin, constraining basin models to match the Curie depth at the location and determining the presence of hydrocarbon in the basin based on the basin models constrained by Curie depth.

Method to constrain a basin model with curie depth

A method of evaluating a shale source rock formation comprising: determining in situ partial pressures of a light hydrocarbon utilizing a downhole Raman tool and producing a map of spatial and vertical variations of the in situ partial pressures of the light hydrocarbon in the shale source rock formation.
