There are two critical features of successful correlations.
- Use genetic correlative features, that is, features that result from original source rock input and not from secondary processes such as maturation, migration, or biodegradation.
- Use a diverse set of correlation criteria from among the arsenal of available tools to avoid misinterpretations arising from the use of a single parameter.
The four case histories listed here are from published literature. Only selected aspects of the full studies are discussed; refer to the original literature for details.
