Abstract
The invention is a method for determining an amount of hydrogen sulfide produced by aquathermolysis induced by a thermal process, such as steam injection. The hydrocarbons are described with a compositional representation using HS and the fractions saturated compounds, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes. A kinetic model is constructed based on the compositional representation using an elementary model obtained by mass balance for sulfur distributed within the fractions. A thermodynamic model is constructed based on the same compositional representation. The amount of produced HS is determined by performing a compositional reservoir simulation using a compositional and reactive thermal simulator using the kinetic and thermodynamic models.
