Evaluation of Hydrocarbon Yield of Organic Matters with Hydrocarbon Generation Kinetics Method ： An Example from the K1qn Formation of the Songliao Basin

1 Introduction Hydrocarbon yield from organic matters is the one of the key parameter of petroleum resource assessment. Previous methods of hydrocarbon yield from organic matters included thermal simulation experiment method, element conservation method and hydrocarbon generation kinetics method （Liu et al, 2006; Tang et al, 2013）.
