The majority of the Earth's petroleum resource is partly biodegraded. This is of considerable
practical significance and can limit economic exploitation of petroleum reserves and lead to …

Petroleum-bearing fluid inclusions are small encapsulations of oil and gas that offer an
invaluable opportunity to better constrain the evolution of petroleum systems. Insights into …

The second edition of The Biomarker Guide is a fully updated and expanded version of this
essential reference. Now in two volumes, it provides a comprehensive account of the role …

Two new rearranged hopanoid hydrocarbons have been isolated from a Prudhoe Bay
crude, Alaska. 17α (H)-15α-methyl-27-norhopane was determined by X-ray crystallography …

Biodegradation rates in oilfields have been assessed conservatively using whole oil-column
minimum rate estimates, diffusion-controlled oil column compositional gradient modelling …

Geochemical analysis of petroleum inclusions trapped in authigenic feldspar and quartz in
the Ula Formation in the North Sea Ula oil field revealed a petroleum of markedly different …

Fluid dynamics in sedimentary basins is of tremendous interest, both from a scientific and an
economic point of view. Integration between fluid inclusion and present-day fluid data …

The principal controls on the fluid properties of biodegraded oil systems have been
determined by a combination of petroleum geochemistry, numerical modeling of oil …

Thin-layer chromatography and flame ionization detection (Iatroscan TLC-FID) offers a rapid
and accurate method for quantifying saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons, and …

Abstract Analysis of a range of crude oils and source rocks appears to indicate that primary
and secondary oil migration has a strong impact on the distribution of pyrrolic nitrogen …
