Petroleum samples from 126 Countries, OilTracers LLC

August 30, 2002: OilTracers LLC Adds an Additional 16,000 Oils and other Geological Samples to the OilTracers® On-Line Oil Library, Raising Sample Count to >26,000 samples from 127 countries.

Through agreements with various analytical laboratories, OilTracers LLC has created an on-line searchable database of >26,000 oils, seeps, condensates, rocks, and gases (from 127 countries) which are currently available in one or more of the sample collections owned by those laboratories.

The OilTracers LLC Oil Library can be reached from the main OilTracers LLC web site (www.oiltracers.com) or by using the following two short cuts:

Oil geochemistry and gas geochemistry can be used to solve a variety of petroleum exploration and development problems. Such projects require analyses of oil, rock, and/or gas samples. However, a company which needs these data may not have all the samples "in house" needed to conduct a project. This is where the OilTracers LLC Oil Library can help. The database can lead you to the samples needed to make your project feasible.

Since samples listed in the Oil Library are drawn from multiple sample collections, the user of our database may be able to locate sufficient samples to conduct a project, while a search of an individual library might not yield the necessary samples. Use of the sample database is FREE, but you must register on-line as a user. A password is then instantaneously e-mailed to you.

The OilTracers LLC Oil Library is especially powerful when it is used in conjunction with the OilTracers LLC oil geochemistry literature database, OilRef®. The OilRef® database contains a listing of over 10,300 petroleum geochemistry-related papers that can bring you up to date on what has been done previously on the geochemistry of a region, basin, or field. The OilRef® database can be searched from the main OilTracers LLC web site at (www.oiltracers.com).
