Table 2

Amount of hydrocarbons measured in a following laboratory procedures: (1) —a value of Rock Eval parameter obtained in a measurement carried out for a sample before bituminous extraction (ppm); (2) EOM—amount of hydrocarbons received in bituminous solvent extraction procedure (ppm); (3) —a difference in values for Rock Eval measurements carried out before and after solvent extraction (ppm); (4) proportional ratio linking heavier liquid hydrocarbons () with parameter—correction coefficient () for heavier oil compounds.
