Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying natural hydrogen sweet spots in a subsurface formation include obtaining rock samples from the subsurface formation; performing pyrolysis of the rock samples to determine an amount of hydrogen generated in the rock samples; determining kinetic parameters based on the performed pyrolysis and a thermal history of the subsurface formation; simulating hydrogen generation in the subsurface formation based on the determined kinetic parameters and the thermal history to predict target maturity data for hydrogen richness in the subsurface formation; measuring total organic content and rock sample maturity data for the rock samples; and identifying hydrogen sweet spots in the subsurface formation based on the target maturity data, the total organic content, and the measured rock sample maturity data.
