maturation processes hydrocarbon generation

Maturation processes refer to the natural physical and chemical changes that occur in organic matter over time as it is buried deeper and subjected to higher temperatures and pressures. These processes are important in petroleum geology because they can lead to the formation of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) from organic-rich …
