SRA is run for the purpose of safety monitoring and yields information about thermal maturation and source of hydrocarbons, as well as petroleum potential, in the sediment or rocks at a drilled site. Samples are heated in a pyrolysis oven in an inert atmosphere to quantitatively and selectively determine free hydrocarbons contained in the sample and the hydrogen- and oxygen-containing compounds that are volatilized during the cracking of unextractable organic matter in the sample (kerogen). ...
