Guidelines for kinetic input to petroleum system models from open-system pyrolysis

- Alternative kinetic models to calculate vitrinite reflectance (Ro) may be more accurate than Easy%Ro for BPSM calibration. In the Aurora-1 and Inigok-1 wells in Alaska, Basin%Ro and Easy%RoDL, more accurately replicates the dogleg in vitrinite reflectance versus depth commonly observed in wells at depths corresponding to ∼0.7-1.0% Ro.
