Abstract

A system and method for measuring a source rock sample's maturity by a static high field resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is disclosed. Kerogen, a part of the source rock matrix is studied, to quantify the amount of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) present. This technique is non-destructive and non-invasive to the sample. The method further includes determining the H/C ratio of the kerogen in the source rock sample by integrating the H/C ratio of a known external reference sample.
