Figure 3

GC traces from TD/Py-GC-MS/FID analysis of a Montney cuttings sample (ARcutt) showing the composition of (a) free hydrocarbons thermally desorbed at 150 °C for 3 minutes; (b) at 380 °C for 3 minutes after thermal desorption at 150 °C; and (c) flash-pyrolysis at 650 °C after previous sequential thermal desorption. Numbers denote the carbon numbers of the corresponding n-alkane peaks. Percentages are the contribution of each thermal fraction to the total hydrocarbon potential of the sample.
