1. Calculated maturity (vitrinite reflectance values; Sweeney & Burnham 1990) at the top of the Hot Shale unit over four time steps: (a) modelled maturity of the Hot Shale layer during the Late Cretaceous; (b) Eocene; (c) Oligocene; and (d) the present day.
Calculated maturity (vitrinite reflectance values; Sweeney & Burnham 1990) at the top of the Hot Shale unit over four time steps: (a) modelled maturity of the Hot Shale layer during the Late Cretaceous; (b) Eocene; (c) Oligocene; and (d) the present day. (e)–(h) The modelled hydrocarbon generations for the same time steps as above. The calculated transformation ratios are based on Vandenbroucke et al. (1999) TII North Sea for the Hot Shale source rock.
