Compilation of thermal maturity and source rock geochemistry data from the Permian Basin Province, west Texas and southeast New Mexico (ver. 2.0, February 2026)
This data release is an updated compilation of published and unpublished thermal maturity and source rock geochemical data (RockEval, pyrolysis) from subsurface wells and outcrops in the Permian Basin, west Texas and southeast New Mexico. This version clarifies the dispersed organic matter group for thermal maturity measurements, adds new data, references, and updates subsurface unit names.
