Fig. 10.24. Sketch map (A) and burial curve (B) illustrating the principles of modeling petroleum generation
and migration. The volume of petroleum generated and whether it is oil and/or gas depend on the type of
source rock and its level of maturity. The latter is largely governed by its cooking history. (From Cornford, R.
