Effect of Temperature on Kerogen Transformation and Hydrocarbon Generation in Bazhenov Formation (Western Siberia, Russia) Rocks During Hydrous Pyrolysis by Grigorii G. Savostin, Margarita S. Tikhonova, Anton G. Kalmykov, Dmitry S. Volkov, Mariia O. Kostyshina, Olesya N. Vidishcheva, Mariia L. Makhnutina, Yuliya A. Kotochkova, Tatiana V. Grigorenko, Mikhail A. Proskurnin

“…The aim of this investigation is to determine the role of temperature in hydrocarbon generation in Bazhenov formation source rocks, as hydrothermal processes in situ are supposed to be the main contributor to kerogen transformation in Western Siberia. Laboratory modeling of organic matter isothermal transformation in powdered and extracted samples by hydrous pyrolysis at 300 °C, 325 °C, 350 °C, 375 °C, and 400 °C for 24 h was performed. …”
