Abstract
A method for determining a parameter representative of a quantity of hydrocarbon-containing compounds present in free form within a sedimentary rock, wherein a first sample representative of the sedimentary rock is obtained and a second sample which is representative of isolated total organic matter in the sedimentary rock is obtained by eliminating a free mineral portion part of the second sample. Each of the samples are processed according to steps comprising heating the sample according to a first heating sequence under an inert atmosphere, and continuously measuring a representative quantity of the hydrocarbon-containing compounds released during at least a part of the first heating sequence. A representative quantity of CO and a representative quantity of COreleased during a second heating sequence is measured. The parameter representative of the quantity of hydrocarbon-containing compounds present in free form within the sedimentary rock from the first and second samples is determined.
