Abstract

A method for evaluating thermal reactivity in source rock evaluation may include obtaining information relating to various source rock samples. The method may include determining reactivities of source rocks corresponding to the various source rock samples. The source rocks may be at a same level of thermal maturity in an area of interest. The method may include interpreting kinetic parameters derived from the plurality of source rock samples. The method includes comparing published, archived and measured kinetic parameters of source rocks in the area of interest. The method may include converting complex format of kinetic parameters into a single variable for reactivity for evaluation and characterization of source rock in the area of interest.
