Thermal maturity is commonly assessed by various geochemical screening methods(e.g.,pyrolysis and organic petrology).In this contribution,we attempt to establish an alternative approach to estimating thermal maturity with Raman spectroscopy,using 24 North American oil shale samples with thermal maturity data generated by vitrinite reflectance(VRo%)and pyrolysis(Tmax)-based maturity calculation(VRe%).The representative shale samples are from the Haynesville(East Texas),Woodford(West Texas),Eagle Ford and Pearsall(South Texas)Formations,as well as Gothic,Mancos,and Niobrara Formation shales(all from Colorado).The Raman spectra of disordered carbonaceous matter(D1 and G bands separation)of these samples were directly obtained from the rock chips without prior sample *** the Gaussian and Lorentzian distribution approach,thermal maturities from VR were correlated with carbon G and *** found that the Raman band separation(RBS)displayed a better correlation for equivalent VRe%than vitrinite reflectance VRo%.The RBS(D1–G)distance versus total organic carbon,free hydrocarbons from thermal extraction(S1),and the remaining hydrocarbon generating potential(S2)indicate that the RBS(D1–G)distance is also related to kerogen *** presented here from three methods of maturity determination of shale demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a quick and valid approach to thermal maturity assessment.

To the Editor:Preterm birth(PTB),defined as livebirth before 37 completed weeks of gestation,is associated with a high degree of immaturity of various organs,and thus are at greater *** a range of short-term and long-term comorbidities.[1]The estimated PTB prevalence in Bangladesh,already among the highest at 19.1%,[2] is even higher in rural areas in Bangladesh,[3]posing a significant economic and emotional burden to these families and the country.
