Generation characteristics of Mesozoic syn- and post-rift source rocks, Bonaparte Basin, Australia: New insights from compositional kinetic modelling

Hydrocarbon Generation in the Lacustrine Mudstones of the Wenchang Formation in the Baiyun Sag of the Pearl River Mouth Basin, Northern South China Sea

“…The hydrocarbon generation process of the brown mudstone of the Wenchang Formation from well LF13-2-1 was simulated by using the BasinMod 1D software to obtain the optimal fit between the numerical simulation and the thermocompression experimental data. , The kinetic parameters of the source rocks of the Wenchang Formation, such as the activation energy, hydrocarbon generation potential, and crude-oil cracking parameters, were obtained (Table ). The numerical simulation is consistent overall with the thermocompression experimental results (see Figure ), except for the hydrocarbon conversion rate at 84% (Ro = 1.92%), when the numerical simulation is higher than experimental results.…”

“…In contrast, the components with high bond energy would only degrade to generate hydrocarbons when the temperature and maturity are high. , The range of activation energies is 46–63 kcal/mol, and the relatively broad distribution of the hydrocarbon generation potential is skewed negatively (see Figure ). A relatively broad distribution of activation energies are directly related to the heterogeneity of kerogens . The activation energies of hydrocarbon generation of kerogen were primarily concentrated between 54 kcal/mol and 59 kcal/mol when hydrocarbon generation potentials were more than 8%.…”

Oil-generation characteristics of Mesozoic syn-rift Madbi source rock in the Masila Basin, Eastern Yemen: New insights from kerogen pyrolysis and bulk kinetic modelling

“…9). The characteristics of these two samples indicate a more heterogeneous organic matter assemblage in these samples (Keym et al, 2006;Abbassi et al, 2014).…”

“…The Type II facies enters into the petroleum generation window (TR 10%) at variable temperatures ranging from lower (122 C) to slightly higher temperatures (130 C) (Table 4). In contrast, the onset of bulk petroleum generation from Type IIeIII facies two samples is predicted to occur at a lower temperature (~106 C), suggesting that the bulk kinetics are controlled by the structure of molecular for different kerogens (Abbassi et al, 2014). The peak generation temperatures (geological T max ) from tow organic facies are variable and ranging from 135 C to 142 C (Table 4).…”

Pyrolysis mechanism and kinetic model of Mudanjiang oil shale in the Songliao Basin, China

“…The organic matter of oil shale is composed of aliphatics, aromatics, and some heteroatomic functional group, which causes pyrolysis. There are mainly three kinds of chemical reactions in the pyrolysis process: reaction of aliphatics, aromatics, and heteroatomic functional group (Abbassi et al., 2014; Li, 1986; Liu et al., 1987; Xie et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2015; Zadeh et al., 2016).…”
