basic information
Petroleum science is a technique that uses petroleum biomarkers to trace the geochemistry of crude oil. The ratios of chemical "biomarker" compounds, such as hopanoids, diasteranes, and steranes, which are resistant to weathering and other forms of degradation, are often referred to as "molecular fossils" and are crucial for distinguishing between different sources of crude oil. Depending on thermal maturity, depositional environment, and geographical location/age, the types and concentrations of various hopanoid and sterane structures provide specific identification information unique to particular oil sources. Characterizing crude oil using GCxGC has been widely adopted because it helps analyze complex mixtures that are known to be difficult to analyze with GC alone. In this application note, we identified various biomarkers from samples collected from different regions around the world and gained insights into the age, origin, and forensic fingerprint of petroleum samples using GCxGC-TOFMS. ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
