Each kerogen type has its own relationship to maturity parameters. Maturity measurements are made on materials other than kerogen; therefore, they are not a direct measure of the hydrocarbon generation stage of the source intervals. A relationship must be established between maturity of the geologic section and hydrocarbon generation for each kerogen type in a basin. This relationship can be derived using 1-D basin [[modeling]] techniques.
