Organic maturity parameters are widely used as calibration data for simulation of burial and thermal histories of sedimentary basins. A review of the related case studies shows that facies and lithology influence the organic maturity parameters. However, the degree of the these influences differs from parameter to parameter, from lithofacies to lithofacies, and from basin to basin. A detailed investigation on maturity parameter variability with lithofacies in the Upper Cretaceous lacustrine deltaic sequence of the western Songliao Basin provided a preliminary evaluation of the applicability of different maturity parameters in the basin.
