Hydrocarbon types reflect the composition of the kerogens from which they were generated. Kerogens are the insoluble organic matter in sedimentary rocks. Maps of hydrocarbon types estimate the number and distribution of mature generating [[source rock]]s. The following map of hydrocarbon types is based on analyses of more than 2000 oil, 600 gas, and 1200 seep samples correlated to specific source rocks. Nine oil-source-rock families have been identified (labeled 1-9; see table on following page), each having a specific geographic distribution related to mature source-rock location and [[migration]] paths. We will focus on the High Island-East Breaks area, where families 1 and 6 overlap (bold arrow).
