Embodiment Construction
[0067] The method according to the invention numerically models the thermal maturation of the organic matter of the mother rock or of any other macromolecular system, and the retention of the products from this reaction in the residual organic matrix, and to possibly extrapolate the results to the basin scale.
[0068]FIG. 1 shows the principle of the method as a function of the various space scales (D(m): Distance in meter) and time scales (t(s): time in second). The initial kerogen (or any other macromolecular structure) sample (E) is experimentally characterized, which allows determination of a molecular model of the structure (MM (Å, 10−15 s)). This molecular model is the input datum of the dynamic simulations coupled with a reactive force field (RMD (Å, 10−15 s)). These simulations model the thermal cracking reaction of the molecular model under the given conditions, and they are validated by comparison with the experimental thermal maturation data. At several stages of the simul...
