Detailed explanation-1: -Rock Eval pyrolysis is used to identify the type and maturity of organic matter and to detect petroleum potential in sediments. Rock Eval pyrolysis is done using the Delsi-Nermag Rock Eval II Plus TOC module.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pyrolysis is the decomposition of organic matter by heating in the absence of oxygen. Organic geochemists use pyrolysis to measure richness and maturity of potential source rocks.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pyrolysis is the heating of an organic material, such as biomass, in the absence of oxygen. Biomass pyrolysis is usually conducted at or above 500 °C, providing enough heat to deconstruct the strong bio-polymers mentioned above.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pyrolysis is almost the best routine tool for determining the kerogen type [5]. The rock-eval pyrolysis data are considered to be the most valuable geochemical exploration tool used to evaluate the type of organic matter, thermal maturity, and the generation capability of source rocks.
