It is generally known that time and temperature are important factors in the process of oil
generation.
Lopatin’s method states the considering of time and temperature in calculating the thermal
maturity of organic material and sediments.
4- 100Co – 110Co is the base interval and chose (n = 0) as the index value.
5- Dependence of maturity on temperature is exponential.
n max
TTI = ∑ (∆tn) (rn)
n min
Where n max and n min are the n-values of highest and lowest temperature intervals.
10- The cumulative value of (TTI) for each horizon is then correlated with the R o.
An exploration well was drilled in a new oil field, the following boundaries are noted.
