Present simulation results based on two-dimensional basin cannot obtain accurate evaluations of petroleum resources because of not combining the thermal history in the Dongpu Depression. In this paper, Shahejie 3 Formation source rocks are evaluated using the geochemical data, and based on the thermal history, the thermal maturity evolution of typical wells and the top and bottom of the Shahejie 3 Formation source rocks are modeled using BasinMod software. Results show that source rocks are mainly distributed in the Haitongji-Liutun and Qianliyuan areas, and dominated by medium to high maturity source rocks. Organic matter types are primarily types II and III kerogen with a small amount of type I. The Shahejie 3 Formation source rocks in the Menggangji area experienced two stages of hydrocarbon generation: (1) during the Dongying Formation depositional period (33–17 Ma) and (2) from the Minghuazhen Formation depositional period to present (5.1–0 Ma). The source rocks are generally underdeveloped with low potential for hydrocarbon generation due to nonpoor and thin source rocks in this area. The two stages of hydrocarbon generation are not obvious for other areas. When the bottom of the source rocks reached overmature stage, the mid-lower Shahejie 3 Formation experienced the peak of hydrocarbon generation during the Dongying Formation depositional period. The thermal maturity evolution of the Shahejie 3 Formation source rocks revealed that the main hydrocarbon generation period was during the Dongying Formation depositional period. Therefore, petroleum exploration is suggested to be performed at the Shahejie 3 Formation source rocks in the Qianliyuan and Haitongji-Liutun areas to study the lithology and discover complex petroleum reservoirs in the Dongpu Depression.
