Abstract
This article presents the fundamental principles of the author's technology for the justification and reconstruction of compositional kinetic spectra GeoArrhenius/SpectrOptim. The advantage of this technology lies in its ability to confidently separate gaseous hydrocarbons on the chromatogram and reconstruct multi-component (with an arbitrary number of components) kinetic spectra at the onset of catagenesis based on neural network modeling. Utilizing this technology in modeling hydrocarbon systems allows for accurate assessments of the volumes of hydrocarbons generated by the oil and gas source rock, and consequently, enables the evaluation of hydrocarbon resources in the area of study. This approach reduces the reliance on external and internal analogs during calculations, as well as the expert opinions of geological researchers.
