In mature source rocks, the resistivity increases because of generated HCs
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Source rocks are classified according to oil generation into three classes [1], as follows: Immature source rocks that have not yet generated hydrocarbons. Mature source rocks that are in generation phase. Post mature source rocks are those which have already generated all crude oil type hydrocarbons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Source rock hydrogen index (HI) is a maturity proxy, and a hydrogen index can be used to map relative maturity. HOWEVER, that only works if the source rock being targeted has the same original HI vertically through the sedimentary column and has the same original HI laterally all across the basin …

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrocarbon Maturation is a structured process wherein the subsurface uncertainties scenarios are being generated. With the help of these scenarios, the operator can make informed decisions on which (re)development to invest in.

Detailed explanation-4: -Quantity of organic matter. Quality capable of yielding moveable hydrocarbons. Thermal maturity. 04-Feb-2022
