The article discusses how different episodes of petroleum charging contribute to oil and gas accumulation. By analyzing the fluorescent color of petroleum inclusions, researchers can determine the maturity and source rock evolution level. The API degree of petroleum inclusions can help identify which charging episode has the most impact on present petroleum accumulation. Comparing the API degree distributions of petroleum inclusions with the present reservoir fluid can provide insights into petroleum migration and accumulation history.
