Abstract:
The increasing world population and the expanding world economy have precipitated a rush to find new sources of energy for developing new oil and gas sources. Exploration today often relies upon the geochemistry of the source rock from the play of interest. The importance of Rock Evaluation Pyrolysis and the presence of specific compounds or groups of compounds in source rock is of immense importance to industries engaged in assessing the potential of a given play. Although many laboratories continue to solvent extract the sample prior to analysis, others have found that thermal extraction of the source rock will often yield a faster more accurate determination of the organic content. In this presentation, the comprehensive evaluation of Source Rock was performed using micro-furnace Pyrolysis-GC/MS with eliminating the need for conventional sample preparation.
