Systems and methods for evaluating subterranean formations using an induced gas logging tool

A logging tool comprising:

• a heating system comprising one or more heat sources, wherein the heating system is configured to heat a region of a subterranean formation above a first temperature, wherein the first temperature is an auto-ignition temperature of one or more hydrocarbons in the region of the subterranean formation;
• an injection system comprising a gas source, wherein the injection system is configured to inject a first gas from the gas source into the region of the subterranean formation while the region of the subterranean formation is above the first temperature;
• a detection system comprising a gas detection chamber and one or more sensors disposed in the gas detection chamber, wherein the detection system is configured to:
• receive, in the gas detection chamber, a sample from the region of the subterranean formation, and
• generate, using the one or more sensors, sensor measurements of the sample;
• and
• an electronic control and processing system comprising one or more processors, wherein the electronic control and processing system is configured to determine one or more characteristics of the subterranean formation based on the sensor measurements.
