A diagram that shows the depth of burial corrected for compaction of each rock unit (subsidence curve) versus the timing of the essential elements in a petroleum system, including the time interval and critical moment for petroleum generation. The calculated temperature history and the timing of petroleum generation based on calculated [[vitrinite reflectance]] or other maturity parameters are commonly overlain on the burial history diagram.<ref name=Petersetal_2012>Peters, Kenneth E., David J.
