Abstract
Methods for constraining basin models to forecast the presence and maturity of hydrocarbon in a basin. The method involves determining a Curie depth at a location at the basin, constraining basin models to match the Curie depth at the location and determining the presence of hydrocarbon in the basin based on the basin models constrained by Curie depth.
