Approximate relationship between hydrocarbon generation, burial depth and temperature

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Diagram showing the approximate relationship between hydrocarbon generations, source rock type, burial depth and temperature for an area with a geothermal gradient of 25 ⁰C/km. These systems are complex and time dependent; all values and relationships are rough approximations. Diagram constructed from data found in/at:
