Kerogens fall into three kerogen types by their elemental composition: type I, sapropelic, the richest in hydrogen, which generates mainly oil; type III, humic or coaly, poor in hydrogen, which generates mainly methane; and type II, intermediate, a source of both oil and gas. The van Krevelen diagram plots the atomic ratio H/C of a kerogen against its atomic ratio O/C; the types occupy different regions of it, and maturation moves a kerogen toward low H/C and low O/C.
