Abstract
A method for ranking thermal reactivities for kinetics assignment in basin modeling may include obtaining information relating to various source rock samples. The method may include determining thermal reactivities of source rocks corresponding to the various source rock samples. The source rocks are at a same level of thermal maturity in an area of interest. The method may include ranking the thermal reactivities at different thermal maturities. The method includes comparing published, archived and measured kinetic parameters of source rocks in the area of interest. The method may include sorting kinetic parameters in organofacies of a source rock formation in terms of reactivity and maturity. The method may include assigning kinetic parameters derived from an immature source rock unit to mature source rock units in a source rock formation in a sedimentary basin. The method may include evaluating the reactivities to improve selection and assignment of the kinetic parameters in the basin modeling.
