Abstract: A pyrolysis system for evaluating a source rock sample from a subterranean reservoir and methods are described. The pyrolysis system includes a reactor vessel including a body with an open end, a cover attachable to the body, a heating system, a collector assembly. The body and the cover define a sealable chamber; a source rock sample holder sized to be received inside the sealable chamber; and a sensor system. The sensor system includes a direct sensor assembly associated with the source rock sample holder, sized to be received inside the sealable chamber, and operable to measure properties of the source rock sample in the source rock sample holder; and a pyrolysis products sensor assembly in fluid communication with the collector assembly of the reactor vessel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating source rock include: a reactor vessel comprising a body with an internal cavity sized to receive a sample holder, a heating system, a radiation source and a detector bracketing the reactor vessel, wherein the radiation source, the detector, and the reactor vessel are rotatable relative to each other; and a processor in communication with the detector, the processor causing performance of operations comprising: obtaining a plurality of measurements of a source rock sample; generating a conceptual model of the source rock sample based on the plurality of measurements obtained; and determining one or more properties of the source rock sample based on the conceptual model.
