Environmental Site Assessment Using Oil Geochemistry
At OilTracers, we use a variety of oil geochemistry techniques
to (1) assess the origin of oil
spills, (2) assess the origin of gas seeps,
and (3) monitor the fate of spilled oil including in situ
biodegradation of petroleum spills,
weathering (dispersion, evaporation, oil slick-water partitioning,
and sediment or soil particle-oil interactions, photochemistry) of
petroleum spills and soil contamination. The approaches we use are
described below.
