Estimation of the Oil-in-Place Resources in the Liquid-Rich Shale Formations Exploiting Geochemical and Petrophysical Data in a 3D High-Resolution Geological Model Domain: Baltic Basin Case Study

<div>Exemplary chromatogram of Baltic Basin crude oil sample; blue shadow indicates hydrocarbons lost during saturated fraction separation; right upper corner—chromatogram of saturated fraction. It was assumed that the amount of hydrocarbons lost in the separation procedure (shadowed) corresponds (although not literally) to the scale of lighter compounds evaporation from core samples during its preparation for Rock Eval measurement.</div>
