Abstract: The significant achievements and potential new research breakthrough in future of organic geochemistry during the last five years are briefly reviewed. Important progress has been achieved on the property and structure of the sedimentary organic matter. The geochemical process involved by the organic matter has been investigated qualitatively due to the technique progress on the molecular and molecular isotopes. The environmental and controlling factors on the formation of hydrocarbon source rocks have been deciphered, however, the sedimentary records to support the deduction of the formation mechanism of hydrocarbon source rocks have not been found. The bio-organic geochemistry contributed to the quantitative reconstruction of environmental and paleoecological issues. New progress will be achieved on the study of the intermediate type of organic matter and quantitative reconstruction of oil and gas reservoir forming process. Introduction of new techniques in new components and isotopes will further improve investigations of organic geochemistry.
