The percent TOC is actually a value that is calculated, not measured directly, using the following formula:
The percent TOC is actually a value that is calculated, not measured directly, using the following formula:
:<math>\%\mbox{TOC} = [0.082(\mbox{S}_{1} + \mbox{S}_{2}) + \mbox{S}_{4}]/10</math>
:<math>\%\mbox{TOC} = [0.082(\mbox{S1} + \mbox{S2}) + \mbox{S4}]/10</math>
Units are usually given as wt % organic carbon per weight of dry rock (milligrams hydrocarbon per gram of rock).
