Conventional well logs are useful for estimating source rock richness both qualitatively and quantitatively. Well logs allow a qualitative identification of organic-rich formations and a quantitative analysis of the amount of organic matter. The advantages of using well logs over cuttings are continuous sampling, more accurate depth control, and greater vertical resolution.<ref name=ch06r7>Herron, S., L., 1991, In situ evaluation of potential source rocks by wireline logs, in Merrill, R., K., ed., Source and Migration Processes and Evaluation Techniques: AAPG Treatise of Petroleum Geology, Handbook of Petroleum Geology, p. 127–134.</ref>
