A review of carbonates as hydrocarbon source rocks: basic geochemistry and oil–gas generation

Abstract Carbonates have been known to act as hydrocarbon source rocks, but their basic geochemical and associated hydrocarbon generation characteristics remain not well understood as they occur with argillaceous source rocks in most cases, and the hydrocarbon generation from each rock type is diffi...
