1. A method for exploration, production and development of hydrocarbons comprising: obtaining a sample comprising hydrocarbons; analyzing the sample for a geochemical signature, wherein the geochemical signature comprises one or more of a multiply substituted isotopologue signature and a position specific isotope signature; determining one or more of historical temperature, type of alteration, and extent of alteration from one or more of the multiply substituted isotopologue signature and position specific isotope signature; and developing or refining an exploration, development or production strategy based on the determined one or more of one of historical temperature, type of alteration, and extent of alteration.
