Abstract
The aim of this work was to study some properties of kerogen by simultaneous thermal analysis. This substance is of importance for oil prospecting in geology. Clay rock specimens of different origin containing kerogen as well as kerogen extracted from the specimens were used for studies by means of a vacuum thermoanalyser (Mettler) equipped with a mass spectrometer (Balzers). The obtained curves of TG, DTG, DTA and EGA for carbon and Jurassic samples taken from various depths were very complex but it was possible to find some directional relationships along the depths of the deposit. The results obtained show that it is possible by using those methods to arrive at some conclusions about origin of the specimens as well as about the degree of transformation of kerogen.
