Description
SRA is run for the purpose of safety monitoring and yields information about thermal maturation and source of hydrocarbons, as well as petroleum potential, in the sediment or rocks at a drilled site. Samples are heated in a pyrolysis oven in an inert atmosphere to quantitatively and selectively determine free hydrocarbons contained in the sample and the hydrogen- and oxygen-containing compounds that are volatilized during the cracking of unextractable organic matter in the sample (kerogen).
