Kinetic simulating experiment on the secondary hydrocarbon generation of kerogen

The kinetic parameters of generation have been obtained for different hydrocarbon classes, including methane, C-2-C-5 gas hydrocarbons, C-6-C-13 light hydrocarbons and C13+ heavy hydrocarbons, and vitrinite reflectance (R-o) by the kinetic simulating experiment of kerogen cracking. Then, combined with the detailed geology of Sichuan Basin, the effective gas-generating intensity of the Lower Cambrian source rock is approximately estimated by applying these parameters.
