“…Two oils from the Casablanca field constitute the first group with only one discrete dissimilar ratio, denoting very similar compositions. This result suggests that the Casablanca crude oil represents good homogenisation across the field structure (karstified carbonate rocks) and behaves as a single reservoir compartment (Permanyer et al, 2005).…”

“…In the past, FTIR spectroscopy of crude oils (whole oil not asphaltene) has been employed as a new tool in reservoir compartmentalization (Permanyer et al, 2002), but, this paper presents new application of FTIR spectroscopy on solving geochemical issues. FTIR spectroscopy gives reliable information, including the paraffinicity or aromaticity of the samples, the relative proportion of carbonyl and/or carboxyl groups versus aliphatic compounds, information on the existence and abundance of various functional groups in the samples, the abundance of aromatic nuclei and oxygen-containing groups relative to aliphatic chains, and the degree of condensation in the polyaromatic compounds (Permanyer et al, 2002(Permanyer et al, , 2005(Permanyer et al, , 2007Griffiths and de Haseth, 2007). In a word, this technique gives structural characterization of samples.…”

In this paper, a new technique with easy interpretation, low cost, and reliable results is presented for oil-oil correlation purpose. In this technique, the structural characterization of asphaltene, because of its structural similarity with kerogene and resistance to secondary processes (e.g., migration, biodegradation, thermal maturity, and so on), was considered as a correlation parameter and asphaltenes structure similarity in different oil samples is the basis of geochemical correlation. FTIR spectroscopy was applied to detect and compare asphaltene structures with each other. The four oil samples from different oil fields in the Iranian sector of the Persian Gulf were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy and introduced indexes that represent structural characteristic of asphaltenes enabled us to perform geochemical correlation. To validation of this technique, the other common geochemical techniques (e.g., stable carbon isotope and biomarkers) were applied to geochemical correlation. These techniques completely supported and complemented the results of the asphaltene FTIR spectroscopy technique. The results of these three techniques show genetic relationships among these 4 oil samples and indicated that these oil samples belong to two distinct oil families. The First oil family originated from carbonate rich source rock and the second oil family was sourced from calcareous shale source rock.

Comparison of single-reflection near-infrared and attenuated total reflection mid-infrared spectroscopies to identify and monitor hydrocarbons spilled in the marine environment

The capability of single-reflection near-IR (NIR) spectroscopy to differentiate, characterize and monitor the fate of a set of hydrocarbons spilled in the marine environment was compared with that of multiple-reflection horizontal attenuated total reflection mid-IR (ATR-MIR) spectroscopy. Multivariate pattern recognition techniques [principal component analysis (PCA), multivariate polynomial regression, cluster analysis and potential curves] were applied to unravel the major trends of the weathering processes of four generic types of crude oils and two heavy fuel oils spilled under controlled conditions for almost 4 months. A chemical interpretation of the NIR spectra related the weathering processes and the PCA loadings, which had not already been done in the literature. Weathering for both light and heavy products was characterized by a contrast among the linear aliphatic structures (more volatile and easy to degrade) and the branched and aromatic structures (more recalcitrant). Potential curves were applied to model each product and determine objectively whether unknown samples could be classified correctly. Polynomial regression on the PCA scores was employed to evaluate the time elapsed from the oil spillage to its sampling; this represents a new approach to assess the age of a hydrocarbon lump. In general, NIR spectroscopy yielded good results when light crude oils were studied, whereas ATR-MIR spectroscopy led to satisfactory results for both light and heavy products.
