Kerogen Type

Kerogen Type is a geochemical classification of organic matter in sedimentary rocks based on its elemental composition, thermal stability, and hydrocarbon generation potential, distinguishing it by the specific biological origin and depositional environment that govern its conversion into oil or gas during burial maturation.
