Study on Pyrolysis Kinetics, Behavior, and Mechanism of Organic-Rich Tuffaceous Mudstones Based on Thermogravimetric Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Organic-rich tuffaceous mudstones are important oil and gas resources. The systematic study of the pyrolysis kinetics and characteristics can not only provide the theoretical basis for the rational development and efficient utilization of these rocks but also is an important complement to the theoretical research on the pyrolysis kinetics of organic-rich rocks. In this study, the pyrolysis kinetics, behavior, and mechanism of the organic-rich tuffaceous mudstone in the Junggar Basin were clarified by thermogravimetric analysis. The organic structure and mineral composition were identified by Rock-Eval, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that the mudstone could be described as a type II kerogen with good hydrocarbon generation potential. Th
