==Effect of depositional environment==

Depositional environment controls the amount of organic carbon contained in a rock. Source rocks are generally associated with areas where high organic productivity is combined with (1) deposition in poorly oxygenated environments (anoxic to dysaerobic), (2) upwelling, and (3) rapid sedimentation.<ref name=ch06r3>Chinn, E., W., 1991, The role of organic geochemistry in petroleum exploration: Basin Research Institute Bulletin, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA, p. 15–23.
