Methods and systems for determining a hydrocarbon type for a source sample are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a thermal maturity relationship and the source sample from a geological region of interest. The method further includes separating aromatic fraction from the source sample, and separating, measuring, and identifying responses of the aromatic fraction using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and determining a thermal maturity ratio using the responses. The method still further includes determining a thermal maturity indicator using the thermal maturity ratio and the thermal maturity relationship and determining the hydrocarbon type based on the thermal maturity indicator. The system includes a ball mill, a pipette column, a GC-MS system, and a computer processor.
A method of determining a hydrocarbon type for a source sample, the method comprising:
