“…In contrast, a very detailed chemical reaction model, consisting of 27 species and 19 reactions was developed specifically for the La Luna source rock (a carbonate-rich rock of the Maracaibo Basin, containing type II kerogen). The development and validation of that model, application to generic parameter studies of geological conditions, and comparisons of basin data with computer simulations are discussed by Burnham et al (1992). While such a model can give very detailed predictions of product generation and composition, its development is very time consuming and, therefore, not always justifiable.…”

Available to DOE and DOE contractors from the OfficeAbstract--A global model for the generation of oil and gas from petroleum source rocks is presented. The model consists of 13 chemical species and 10 reactions, including an altematepathway mechanism for kerogen pyrolysis. Reaction rate parameters and stoichiometry coefficients determined from a variety of pyrolysis data are given for both type I and type II kerogen.Use of the chemical reaction model is illustrated for typical geologic conditions.

“…The importance of oxygen in the hydrocarbon generation mechanism has other implications. Our earlier comparisons between hydrous and open-system pyrolysis for the La Luna formation indicated that carbon dioxide is generated more easily during hydrous pyrolysis than predicted by open-system pyrolysis kinetics (Burnham et al, 1992). As a result, more oxygen is still present in the kerogen during the hydrocarbon generation phase when very immature samples undergo open-system pyrolysis than when the samples reach the hydrocarbon generation phase in nature.…”
