A collaborative study between Baseline Resolution, and
OilTracers LLC. Forty-eight oils from the Precaspian basin have
been analyzed to assess: oil types and genetic relationships, oil
source lithofacies, oil source maturity, oil alteration/ charge
history, and the age of the source rocks from which the oils were
derived. Analytical data on each oil include:(1) high resolution
whole oil gas chromatography with detailed light hydrocarbons, (2)
complete SARA liquid chromatography, (3) saturate and aromatic
GC/MS, (4) GC/MS/MS data (5) saturate and aromatic carbon isotopes,
(6) percent sulfur, and (6) API gravity.
