Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Kerogen Thermal Maturation and Cross-Linking Pathways
Abstract
For this study, molecular dynamics simulations were performed with a ReaxFF reactive force field to investigate bond breaking and bond formation mechanisms during the early thermal maturation of kerogen and potential crosslinking pathways towards a three-dimensional (3D) quasi-infinite molecular network (crosslinked kerogen). Starting with small ensembles of high molecular mass models for immature type I Green River Shale kerogen (Kerogen 1-I), top of the oil window type II kerogen (Kerogen 2-L), and low maturity type III kerogen (Kerogen 3-L), low molecular mass species including H2O, H2S, C2H4, C3H6 were produced as the maturities of the remaining kerogens increased. Highly reactive fragments, which are not detected in pyrolysis experiments, were also produced. Further, the crosslinking mechanism in the newly develop polymeric kerogen networks appears to be highly complex and it is influenced by the nature of the kerogen. Covalent —C—S—, —C—O— and —C—C— bonds are the primary crosslinks that structurally binds kerogen monomers together. The trends observed in the thermochemical transformation of kerogen and the kerogen crosslinking pathways are consistent with the theoretical and experimental studies reported in the scientific literature. The reactive force field molecular dynamics simulation provides a potentially valuable alternative approach to the development of a realistic 3Dmore »
