Abstract
The invention relates to a method for automatic interpretation of geochemical measurements obtained by pyrolysis of a rock sample in order to obtain information pertaining to the organic matter contained in the sample. In this method, rock samples having known petroleum characteristics are used to carry out a phase of training of an artificial neural network, the neural network is used to obtain parameters pertaining to the organic matter of a rock sample, interpretation of the parameters is refined at the network output by using fuzzy sets for refining interpretation of the parameters at an output of the neural network.
