(A) Estimated convertible carbon content (after maturation at 470 °C) versus initial HI of artificially matured KCF samples. Comparison with trends from Orr:61 Cc= 0.085 × HIi. Cc (%) is the original organic carbon content of samples that can be converted into HCs during maturation. Each artificially matured sample come from a same original immature sample thermally matured at different temperatures. Cc is thus considered constant for each sample whatever their thermal maturities. (B) Variations of estimated OMp with increasing thermal maturity. Highly oil-prone samples are in blue.
