Abstract
Uncertainties regarding the timing of oil generation and the source of the generated oil are common exploration problems. Understanding the chemical composition of petroleum source rocks and their associated oils provides critical information regarding the temporal and spatial controls on the formation of hydrocarbon deposits.
