Abstract
Recent research in the field of oil and gas geochemistry has focused on the catalytic role of minerals in geological history. Thermal simulation experiments are considered a valuable means of studying the formation and transformation of hydrocarbons. In this paper, we review the catalytic mechanisms, processes, and various arguments for different types of minerals in thermal simulation experiments from the perspective of mineral additives. We focus on two categories: (1) minerals that provide direct catalysis, such as clay minerals, alkali metals, carbonate rocks, and some transition metal elements, and (2) minerals, such as serpentine, that promote aqueous hydrogen and act as the material basis, as well as the radioactive element uranium. We also discuss existing disputes and prospects for the development direction of mineral catalytic thermal simulation experiments.
