The understanding of the reactivity of sulfur species in<br />

petroleum reservoirs is of prime interest to<br />

geosciences. The origin of H2S in reservoirs can be<br />

related to sulfur rich source rocks, to the<br />

thermochemical reducti<strong>on</strong> of sulfates, or to bacterial<br />

sulfate reducti<strong>on</strong> for instance. The H2S source may be<br />

readily elucidated by isotope measurements of sulfur.<br />

Yet, the understanding of the reactivity of H2S in the<br />

presence of hydrocarb<strong>on</strong>s is still of c<strong>on</strong>cern in many<br />

aspects of petroleum interests, as to predict sulfur<br />

species in high sulfur reservoirs, hydrocarb<strong>on</strong>s<br />

stability in deep-hot reservoirs, H2S yields forecast<br />

during heavy oil recovery, or H2S sequestrati<strong>on</strong> during<br />

acid gas injecti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

In order to study the reactivity of H2S in the presence<br />

of hydrocarb<strong>on</strong>s, pyrolysis experiments were<br />

c<strong>on</strong>ducted <strong>on</strong> whole oils and pure compounds using<br />

gold cell pyrolysis c<strong>on</strong>ducted at 200°C
