http://aapgbull.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content-nw/full/92/8/1077/FG3 The changes in H/C and O/C atomic ratios for the pyrolysis of the Cameo coal from the Twin Arrow 4-14 C&K well as shown on a Van Krevelen diagram indicate that the simulated maturation of the coal follows the natural evolution trend for type III kerogen. The two faint dotted lines running from about 1.7 and 0.7 on the y axis to 0.18 and 0.14 on the x axis represent the stage boundaries of organic matter transformation from diagenesis to catagenesis and from catagenesis to metagenesis, respectively

Types of Kerogen Type I Type II Type III Type IV H/C ~1.6 ~1.3 ~0.8-0.9 ~0.5 Oxygen % ~5 ~10 ~25-30 Sources Algal, bacterial Mixed (cuticles, spores, pollen, plant debris) Woody tissues Fusitinized OM High aliphatic, low aromatic More aromatic Not much aliphatic Very highly aromatic Oil Generation Potential Very high High Low (gas prone) Zero
