The results show that there are at least four genetically related hydrocarbons that occur as petroleum shows, oil types designated MM, ET, EK, and CM. Most of the oil seeps, and accumulations (Magoon and Dow, 1994). The first from the basin has low to moderate sulfur content (less than 1 step in identifying petroleum systems is to characterize and map weight percent sulfur), although a few unaltered MM oils have the geographical distribution of oil and gas types.
