| * As a rule of thumb, oil should not be expected at subsurface temperatures > [[temperature::150°C]] or a maturation level much above 1.3% R<sub>o</sub>. Dry gas accumulations can occur at shallower depths, but oil is not likely at greater depths. | | * As a rule of thumb, oil should not be expected at subsurface temperatures > [[temperature::150°C]] or a maturation level much above 1.3% R<sub>o</sub>.
