The 12 pages that link to Source rock, each with the reason it gives.

• Petroleum geologyRelated: Petroleum generation begins when suitable organic matter is buried in this rock.

• Sequence stratigraphyRelated: Sequence models help locate depositional settings favorable to organic-rich intervals.

• Sedimentary basinRelated: Some basin strata become source rocks as burial raises their temperature.

• PetroleumRelated: Petroleum begins in source rocks before moving into reservoirs.

• Crude oilRelated: Most crude oil forms from organic matter transformed within source rocks.

• ShaleRelated: Organic-rich shale is a major source rock for oil and natural gas.

• Petroleum reservoirRelated: It supplies hydrocarbons that can migrate into a separate reservoir.

• MudstoneRelated: Organic-rich mudstone can generate hydrocarbons that migrate into reservoirs.

• MudrockRelated: Organic-rich mudrock commonly generates oil and gas during burial.

• Campos BasinRelated: Buried source rocks supplied hydrocarbons to the basin’s reservoirs.
