Organic material in source beds is altered by bacterial decay aided by pressure and temperature over time. Organic-rich shales typically form the best source beds. Whether oil or gas is generated depends on depth, temperature, and overburden pressure. Oil and gas migrate until stopped by an impermeable seal.
