* Geohistory analysis with proper gasification [[kinetics]] can usually predict at what depth [[accumulation]]s have been gasified.

* As a rule of thumb, oil should not be expected at subsurface temperatures > [[temperature::150&deg;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.
