Working Principle:
The principle involves programmatically heating a quantitative sample of source rock and reservoir rock in a special pyrolysis furnace. This causes the hydrocarbons and kerogen (source material) in the rock sample to volatilize and crack within different temperature ranges. A carrier gas (H2 or He) is used to physically separate them from the rock sample, and the carrier gas then carries them directly into a flame ionization detector (FID) for quantitative detection. The detection results are converted from changes in hydrocarbon concentration into corresponding electrical signals, which are then amplified and processed by a computer to obtain the content of each hydrocarbon and the peak temperature of the cracked hydrocarbons.
Applications in geochemical logging include:
① determining reservoir crude oil density and properties;
② evaluating reservoir oil abundance;
③ identifying true and false oil and gas shows:
I. basic parameter judgment method of pyrolysis analysis;
II. derived parameter judgment method of positive pyrolysis analysis;
④ evaluating hydrocarbon source rocks.
