High-sulfur and low-sulfur oils have fundamentally different origins. Most high-sulfur oils come from nonclastic [[source rock]]s. Although some extremely rich clastic source rocks like the Kimmeridge Clay of the North Sea also yield moderately high-sulfur oils, most clastic source rocks yield oils with less than 0.5% sulfur by weight. However, sulfur content is also a function of maturity.
