Upper Triassic coaly and lacustrine source rocks complicate efforts to determine the source of hydrocarbons in Sichuan Basin. Total organic carbon analyses, pyrolysis experiments, petrological examinations, and gas chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry determinations were conducted on coals, carbonaceous mudstones and mudstones collected from two outcrop sections and cores of nine wells. Results revealed that the abundant organic carbon content will prolong the hydrocarbon generation cycle for coals and then the hydrocarbon generating capacity of coals will be enhanced by salinization, thereby contributing bacteria and algae microorganisms into humic coal of the Xujiahe Formation. Compared with mudstone, coal with the same maturity has a stronger adsorption effect on free hydrocarbons. When Ro is greater than 1.35, coal still has a strong hydrocarbon generation ability. The stable water column stratification and euxinic bottom water conditions are evidenced from the lower Pr/Ph and the higher gammacerane indices. The mixing of sea water has been proven by the existence of 4α,23,24,-trimethylcholestanes.
