Based on [[:file:evaluating-source-rocks_fig6-18.png|Figure 1]], we determine that at a depth of [[length::2.6 km]] the modeled well is presently in the oil generation zone and approximately 25% of the kerogen in the source rocks at this depth has generated hydrocarbons. We know from the hydrocarbon generation-maturity relationship that at [[length::2.6 km]] this well has a [[vitrinite reflectance]] ( R<sub>o</sub>) of 0.7%. If another well in the basin contains similar source rocks and has a maturity of 0.7% R<sub>o</sub> at [[length::3.7 km]], then we can predict that the section at [[length::3.7 km]] is mature for liquid generation and has generated a liquid hydrocarbons, converting approximately 25% of its kerogen to hydrocarbons.
