Quantitative Evaluation Rules for Programmed Pyrolysis Data Greatly Improve Their Reliability

Main content start

The PARSE rules are designed to filter an input data set by a predefined series of quantitative criteria, resulting in a final data set of reliable thermal maturity indicator Tmax and potential source and reservoir rock intervals.   The rules are flexible: thresholds within each rule can be adjusted by basin, kerogen type, user experience, or based on patterns observed in the data. In the era of big data, machine learning, and dashboard development for ease of data retrieval, such pre-processing steps take on more importance than ever before.
