HI is the hydrogen index (S2/TOC × 100). TOC is the total organic carbon content in terms of weight percent and S2 is the mass of hydrocarbons per mass of sample released during programmed pyrolysis between 300 and 650 °C at a heating rate of 25 °C/min. Tmax is a thermal maturity indicator that is approximately 39.5 °C lower than the oven temperature that coincides with the maximum release of hydrocarbons during programmed pyrolysis at a heating rate of 25 °C/min.
