Geology of Batu Gajah with Emphasis on the Characteristics of Carbonaceous Schist for Hydrocarbon Prediction

Five samples from the Palaeozoic carbonaceous schist outcrops were collected in Batu Gajah for Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Total Organic Carbon (TOC). The analysis of these carbonaceous schist samples intends to determine the characteristic and...
