In large lake basins, source rocks containing sapropelic kerogen have a high transformation ratio and a high potential for petroleum, and they offer the material basis for the formation of a large nonmarine oil field. On the basis of geologic and geochemical data and the results of thermal simulation of kerogen, it is confirmed that the maturation sequence of kerogen is type I, type II, and type III.
