Abstract: Organic matters of the source rocks in the Lucaogou Formation of the Malang Sag,Santanghu Basin are rich in hydrogen components,which suppresses the thermal evolution of organic matters.To simulate thermal evolution of organic matters,a new kinetic model of organic thermal evolution under the condition of hydrogen suppression was established integrating time,temperature,and hydrogen retardation based on Sweeny and Burham Easy %Ro time and temperature controlling kinetic model.In the new kinetic model,activity energies are adjusted by hydrogen index.The results show that hydrogen suppression contributes to 0.2% of Ro value in the Lucaogou Formation.Hydrogen suppression also resulted in delays of both initial generation of hydrocarbons and peak generation of hydrocarbons.This new established model is widely applicable to thermal histories for different kerogen types with higher accuracy.
