When we compare [[Petroleum generation|hydrocarbon generation]] curves and [[transformation ratio]] curves from 1-D models, we can develop a relationship in a way similar to that for generation-maturity. If [[vitrinite reflectance]] data are available, the relationship between transformation ratio and maturity can be used to predict (1) percentage of [[Kerogen types|kerogen]] that has generated hydrocarbons at a given depth and (2) hydrocarbon yields.
