Abstract
Modeling of geochemical processes encompasses the generation of petroleum and related maturation parameters, such as vitrinite reflectance, molecular biomarkers, and mineral diagenesis. The transformation and maturation of organic matter can be subdivided into three phases: diagenesis, catagenesis and metagenesis (Tissot and Welte, 1984). The term diagenesis is different from that of the rock types. The formation of petroleum and coal with typical depth and temperature intervals is illustrated in Fig. 4.1.
