Alkane and Oil Yields from Kerogen Pyrolysis in the Dongpu Depression

Dongpu Depression kerogen samples were subjected to closed gold-tube pyrolysis experiments. The dataset contains resulting alkane gas and oil yields. It was authored by Chengfu Zhang and last updated on June 2, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling hydrocarbon generation kinetics based on pyrolysis yields.
• Calibrating basin models for the Dongpu Depression using experimental data.
• Comparing gas-to-oil ratios from different kerogen types.
• Training predictive models for hydrocarbon yields from source rock properties.

Strengths

• Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
• File size is 21.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection.
