Notes: TOC = total organic carbon. S1 and S2 = peaks corresponding to free and kerogen-bound HC, respectively, generated by Rock-Eval pyrolysis; S3 = amount of CO2 released by thermal cracking of kerogen. Tmax = peak temperature of kerogen breakdown. PI = production index. HI = hydrogen index, HC = hydrocarbon. OI = oxygen index. * = values enhanced by carbonate contents (cf. Table T10).
