pdf Some questions of the kinetics of thermal decomposition of kerogen
This article discusses the main instruments and methods for studying the kinetics of decomposition of organic matter in oil source rocks (kerogen). The advantages and disadvantages of thermal analysis devices (TGA, DSC, Rock-Eval) and methods for obtaining kinetic information are considered. It is shown that an incorrect determination of the temperature and reaction mechanism leads to a colossal error in the determination of the activation energy and the preexponential factor.

Keywords: kinetics of kerogen decomposition, thermal analysis device, determination of activation energy, determination of pre-exponential factor.
