Van Krevelen diagram.[1]
Hydrogen indices in the range of Type II kerogen, but sulfur-rich type IIS kerogens contain uncommonly high organic sulfur (8-14 wt. %, atomic S/C ≥ 0.04) and begin to generate oil at a lower thermal maturity than typical type II kerogens with less than 6 wt. % sulfur;[2] type IIS pathway on Van Krevelen diagrams.[3]
