Petroleum geochemistry the generation and distribution of hydrocarbons
•The petroleum geochemist seeks to determine if rocks contain organic quantity and o~ the appropriate type to source those rocks have been heated sufficiently to allow the He will also try to ~stkblish if hydrocarbons have been generated before, and faulting, and if the rate of heating has varied with time associated wiith tectonic causes. Jf hydrocarbons, or traces of hydrocarbons, are present it is possible decide if they originated from source rocks which have been analysed. Eventually, if data are available, the gcochemist can build up a picture based on the sedimentary and tectonic history of the basin and show when and how source rocks gave up t:.heir hycirocarbons, 1.n which directions they migrated and what the total yield from a basin could be. Organic matter is deposited in sediments in various forms. Increase in the depth Qf burial results in increase in temperature, which cause diagenesis OT 'm~turnti
