“…UV microfluorescence spectroscopy can be used to better determine the composition and API gravity of the fluids, and to discriminate between separate populations of petroleum fluid inclusions, as it provides a more detailed evaluation of the fluorescence characteristics of petroleum fluids at a range of wavelengths [11,12,[44][45][46]. The fluorescence spectra for inclusion oils were measured with a CRAIC QDI 202Tm Microspectrophotometer (San Dimas, CA, USA), according to the methodology outlined by [46].…”

“…The fluorescence spectra for inclusion oils were measured with a CRAIC QDI 202Tm Microspectrophotometer (San Dimas, CA, USA), according to the methodology outlined by [46]. In order to discriminate between different oil types, the maximum intensity of peaks (λ max ) and the relative intensity at 650 and 500 nm (Q R/G ; [44]) and at 500 and 430 nm (Q G/B ; [45]) were calculated for petroleum-bearing fluid inclusions.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that the API gravity of petroleum fluids can be related to their fluorescence spectra [12,[44][45][46]. Reports by Stasiuk and Snowden [44] and Gillespie et al [46] correlated the intensity of fluorescence at 650 and 500 nm (Q R/G ) to known API values, and the equation of Gillespie et al [46] was used here to calculate the API of petroleum fluids in Type 4a and Type 4b inclusions.…”

However, Bourdet et al [12] showed that these equations were not suitable for very light oils or condensates, as the intensity of fluorescence at 650 nm is weak.…”

This study, based on fluid inclusion petrography, microthermometry and ultraviolet microspectroscopy of inclusion oil, investigates the petroleum charge history at Parsons Pond, western Newfoundland. To address this matter, drill core and cuttings samples of allochthonous and autochthonous strata in the Parson's Pond area were collected from three exploration wells. Fluid inclusions were examined from fragments of calcite and quartz veins, diagenetic cements in sandstone, and in large hydrothermal dolomite and calcite crystals. Primary aqueous inclusions in authigenic sandstone cements indicate that cementation occurred at relatively shallow depths and low temperatures (<50 • C). Hydrocarbon-bearing fluid inclusions (petroleum, wet gas and gas) are generally restricted to calcite and quartz veins, indicating that petroleum and gas migration at Parson's Pond is fracture-controlled. No hydrocarbons were observed in the diagenetic cements of the essentially tight sandstones. Fluid inclusion microthermometry and ultraviolet microspectroscopy indicate the presence of multiple generations of hydrocarbon fluid, ranging in composition from 33 API gravity petroleum to pure CH 4 . Petrographic evidence suggests that hydrocarbons were generated multiple times during progressive burial and heating. In addition, the distribution of hydrocarbon bearing inclusions with depth suggests that deeper levels are gas-prone, with petroleum confined to relatively shallow depths. Although only gas flow was encountered during the drilling of exploration wells at Parson's Pond, the presence of petroleum-bearing fluid inclusions in calcite and quartz veins indicates that the historical production from shallow wells in the Parsons Pond area likely tapped small reservoirs of fractured petroliferous strata.
