Abstract
Conceptual advances in petroleum source rock geochemistry made during the last decade are reviewed and some problem areas in analytical geochemistry are outlined. Areas of discussion include views of source rocks based on assessment of hydrocarbon expulsion, kinetic models of kerogen maturation/vitrinite reflectance evolution and a discussion of the data dilemma facing modern source rock geochemistry. The increased application of petroleum geochemistry to the quantitative solution of geological problems is stressed.
