title: Simulation of kerogen evolution by thermodynamic methods (on the example of Southern oil and gas region)
abstract: The article considers the methods for estimating the level of organic matter transformation, scattered in sedimentary strata, in the process of catagenetic transformations. The authors show the efficiency of kerogen property research by coal petrographic methods and palynological analysis, the purpose of which is to establish the paleotemperature that was actualized in the process of evolution. The advantages and disadvantages of establishing the organic matter generation potential by pyrolytic
