Kinetics05 software
http://www.geoisochem.com/software/kinetics05/index.html
The Kinetics05 software used in processing kinetic measurements was developed by A. K. Burnham and R. L. Braun at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Using this Kinetics05 software, the kinetic parameters can be used to extrapolate laboratory reaction behavior to the lower temperatures and heating rates of natural burial. The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of kerogen are typically expressed as a distribution of activation energies (Ea) with a single fixed frequency factor (A). Tests on these extrapolations can be done by comparing the kinetic results to actual oil/gas field data.
