Source rocks, typically fine-grained sedimentary rocks, are where hydrocarbons accumulate. The objective of this study is to analyze the maturity and potential of the parent rocks in the Mallawa Formation, South Sulawesi. The methodology involves field sampling of rock specimens for laboratory analysis, including Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Rock Eval Pyrolysis, %Ro (% Reflectance), GC-MS (Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry), and fossil analysis. By employing these methods, the research aims to provide insights into the hydrocarbon potential and depositional environment of the source rocks within the Mallawa Formation in South Sulawesi. The findings of this study could serve as a basis for further exploration of natural resources in the region. ## Keywords - Sedimentary depositional environment - Geology - Geochemistry - Source rock - Geomorphology - Structural basin --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
