Notes: HC = hydrocarbon, TOC = total organic carbon. S1 and S2 = peaks corresponding to free and kerogen-bound HC (respectively generated by Rock-Eval pyrolysis), S3 = the amount of CO2 released by thermal cracking of kerogen. Tmax = peak temperature of kerogen breakdown. HI = hydrogen index, OI = oxygen index. * = values enhanced by carbonate contents. ND = not determined.
