In particular, methods according to some embodiments include determining or otherwise obtaining values of TOC; bulk density; porosity; and densities of kerogen, oil, and water corresponding to a subsurface formation of interest or a zone thereof. Methods of various embodiments further include, based at least in part upon the obtained values, determining one or more of kerogen content, oil saturation So, and water saturation Sw of the subsurface formation of interest, and/or a corresponding zone thereof.

  • Patent number: 11787340
    Abstract: A sideview mirror assembly for a vehicle can comprise a body including a sideview mirror housing. The sideview mirror assembly can include a camera located in the body about the sideview mirror housing. The camera can have a field-of-view including an above-horizontal region directed rearward toward an overhead target position past the sideview mirror housing. The camera can be mounted for movement relative to the body between a normal position, in which the sideview mirror housing intersects the camera and the overhead target position in the above-horizontal region, and an extended position, in which the sideview mirror housing does not intersect the camera and the overhead target position in the above-horizontal region. Movement of the camera from the normal position to the extended position can unblock camera visibility of the overhead target position by the sideview mirror housing.
