Kazakhstan Petroleum Systems Study
A collaborative study between Baseline Resolution, and
OilTracers. 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.
