Source Rock Geochemistry

Source Rock Geochemistry is the systematic study of the chemical composition, organic matter type, thermal maturity, and hydrocarbon generation potential of sedimentary rocks that serve as origins for petroleum, distinguishing it from broader geochemical analyses by its focused application to hydrocarbon source rock evaluation.
