Obviously, the two main elements of hydrocarbons are hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, once we know the amount of [[total organic carbon (TOC)]] present in a rock, we then need to know the amount of hydrogen present in order to assess overall source rock quality. The amount of oxygen and hydrogen present in the kerogen defines the [[Kerogen types|kerogen]] as type I, II, or III and if the rock will be oil or gas prone.
