==Calibration factor==
Hydrocarbon yield models estimate the volume of hydrocarbons that can be generated from a given volume of [[source rock]] and thermal history. These calculations are commonly calibrated by comparing the volume of hydrocarbons that should have been generated in a drainage area with the volume actually trapped. This “calibration factor” then is used routinely in yield estimates.
