Kinetic modelling of petroleum formation and cracking: implications from the high pressure/high temperature Elgin Field (UK, North Sea)
TLDR
In this article, the authors used a case study to test the simulation of generation, migration and cracking of petroleum fluids by a 2D compositional basin simulator using kinetic models based on chemical classes of compounds.About:

New insights on the Green River petroleum system in the Uinta basin from hydrous pyrolysis experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the mechanisms of hydrocarbon generation and accumulation in the Uinta basin and found that petroleum generation is interpreted to originate from source pods in the basal Green River Formation buried to depths greater than 3000 m along the steeply dipping northern margin of the basin.

From petroleum-type organofacies to hydrocarbon phase prediction
R. Di Primio,Brian Horsfield +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine open-and closed-system pyrolysis techniques to characterize the compositional evolution of the fluids generated as a function of increasing thermal stress, as well as correcting experimentally determined gas compositions.

New insights into the volume and pressure changes during the thermal cracking of oil to gas in reservoirs: Implications for the in-situ accumulation of gas cracked from oils
TL;DR: In this article, a compositional kinetic model of gas generation from oil cracking is suggested based on pyrolysis data using sealed gold tubes, and the pressure-volume changes are recalculated based on the new kinetic model under various geological conditions.

A chemical and thermodynamic model of oil generation in hydrocarbon source rocks.
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if water is stable and present in the source rock at temperatures ≳25 but ≲100 ǫ c along a typical US Gulf Coast geotherm, an immature (reduced) kerogen with a given atomic hydrogen to carbon ratio (H/C) melts incongruently with increasing temperature and depth of burial to produce a metastable equilibrium phase assemblage consisting of naphthenic/biomarker-rich crude oil, a type-II/III kerogen with an atomic hydrogen/carbon

Modelling petroleum formation from heterogeneous source rocks: the influence of frequency factors on activation energy distribution and geological prediction
TL;DR: In this paper, individual pairs of frequency factors and activation energies were calculated from the temperature shift of nine different levels of organic matter transformation ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 TR at different heating rates (0.1, 0.7 and 5.0 K/min).

TL;DR: The global kinetic model presented in this article assigns kinetic parameters based on gross depositional environment and stratigraphic age; this is useful in areas of low geochemical knowledge, including exploration frontiers.
