study is to quantify individual natural gas generation in the deepwater area of
the Qiongdongnan Basin based on the basin modeling from
the shallow-water, and to evaluate kinetic parameters and geological
extrapolations using an optimization procedure. Kinetic model presented
reproduces the detailed features of shale pyrolysis and coal processing. The
idea of blending these two approaches is not new, but until now the most
sophisticated attempts reproduced only the gross features of kerogen cracking.
It will help to forecast preferable prospect area, and to accelerate the
prospecting of natural gas in the deepwater area of the Qiongdongnan Basin
