Abstract: The principle of activated energy theory is applied to examine the effect of active molecule in process of organic matter hydrocarbon generation. First of all, the properties and evolvements of lattice water of clay minerals in source rocks and interlayer water of clay mineral aggregates are clarified. Secondly, the principle and mechanism of forming proton acid bundle (H+) from active molecule (H20) are presented, including hydrodewater and hydrodecarboxylic acid reactions during soluble organic matter hydrocarbon generation; and the proton acid bundle of active molecule (H20), the cracking hydrocarbon generation by multichain reaction bombarded by macromolecular kerogen and property and composition of its hydrocarbon products are discussed. Finally, the reason for stereo-isomer variation of cholestane in different depths and abundances are explained.

Key words: organic matter hydrocarbon generation, microphysical interpretation, active molecule, proton acid, soluble organic matter, kerogen, multichain reaction
