Source rock richness is determined by measuring the total organic carbon (TOC) present in a rock. The two most common techniques of analyzing a rock for TOC are Rock-Eval pyrolysis with TOC and the LECO method. Conventional well logs can also provide information for evaluating interval richness.

Conventional well logs can also provide information for evaluating interval richness.
  
This section first discusses what TOC is and then describes these three techniques and the information they yield.

Source rock richness is determined by measuring the total organic carbon (TOC) present in a rock. The two most common techniques of analyzing a rock for TOC are Rock-Eval pyrolysis with TOC and the LECO method. Conventional well logs can also provide information for evaluating interval richness.
