Summary: | Systems and methods are described for analyzing hydrocarbon bearing earth samples to determine information indicating the maturation, or changes in composition of kerogen from original deposition over geologic time as the kerogen is subjected to heat and pressure. A DRIFTS spectrometry signal is corrected and normalized and then plotted against TOC data to obtain an index indicating thermal maturity. |
