Hydrocarbon potential of the source rock
(Slanic section, Slanic-Oituz half-window)
The abundance of organic matter in sediments is usually expressed as the relative percentage of organic carbon on a dry weight basis. Based on its values, the genetic potential of the source rocks can be established, being estimated between poor and excellent (Peters and Cassa, 1994).
