Theory and Practice of Kinetics in Petroleum Systems Modeling

The work describes the difference between the approaches to estimate the generation potential of oil and gas components of source rocks effectiveness, depending on the degree of maturation. It is substantiated the necessity of chemical kinetics studies of source rocks from core samples and outcrops for petroleum systems modeling. It is shown the much better calibration of the known fields on the Gydan peninsula with the modeled ones of BPSM project in the use of the recovered kinetic of Tanopchinskaya suite.
