Abstract
The method according to the invention allows modelling of oil and the retention phenomenon in the source rock. Organic matter characterization experiments are used to establish the molecular model (MM) of the initial sample. The thermal cracking reaction of this molecular model is reproduced by dynamic molecular simulation computations with a reactive force field and validated by comparison with experimental data. The reaction mechanism permits a kinetic study by variation of the temperature parameter. The successive phase equilibrium assessments at various progress stages of the cracking reaction allow following the physicochemical evolution of the thermal maturation of the organic sample. The free hydrocarbons are not retained in the solid residue can be quantified throughout numerical modelling of the sample maturation.
