Description
Source rocks are essential in petroleum systems as they generate hydrocarbons under appropriate thermal conditions. Evaluation involves geochemical techniques such as Rock-Eval pyrolysis, vitrinite reflectance, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). TOC analysis quantifies the organic content, while kerogen typing (Type I, II, III) determines oil or gas generation potential. Thermal maturity assessments help estimate hydrocarbon expulsion timing. Integrating source rock analysis with basin modeling aids in predicting hydrocarbon migration and accumulation.

“I was very impressed with the ‘Source Rock Evaluation’ guide. It provided detailed information on the key parameters used in source rock evaluation, such as TOC, kerogen type, and thermal maturity indices. I found it to be a valuable resource for understanding the hydrocarbon generation potential of formations. The guide was well-written and easy to follow, even for someone who is new to the subject. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone involved in oil and gas exploration.”
