“…The DRs of biomarkers are frequently used for oil source identication. 27,[35][36][37] On the basis of the calculation method for DRs, 38 46 new DRs of the qualitative phenanthrenes and chrysenes were selected for source identication of weathered oil spills, as presented in Table 2.…”

“…Biomarkers are complex molecules derived from formerly living organisms and have been found in crude oils with little or no changes from their parent biochemicals (i.e., biogenic precursors) [8]. Given the biodegradation-resistant nature of these compounds, they are of extreme value for chemical fingerprinting.…”

“…In crude oils, various types of biomarkers are present, typically in the carbon range of C 10 and above. For light diesel fuels (i.e., #1 and #2), sesquiterpanes are present and their patterns and ratios have been used for source identification and correlation [8] [14]. Heavier biomarkers such as terpanes and steranes are low in concentrations in light fresh diesel fuels; however, their relative concentrations can be increased during mild to severe degradation due to preferential depletion of lighter components in the products.…”

During a routine inspection in a petroleum product terminal, hydrocarbon staining was found in soil along the perimeter of a diesel fuel tank. As the observation was made a few days after a magnitude 5.1 earthquake in the general area of the terminal, the hydrocarbon staining in the soil was suspected to be a result of a leak from the tank. The observation triggered an immediate tank inspection, which included examination of tank exterior, piping and connections; pressure testing; wall thickness gauging; and an inventory check. Results of the initial inspection suggested that there were no integrity issues with the tank. Before more vigorous and more disruptive inspections were conducted, chemical fingerprinting was conducted to assess the nature of soil staining and potential connection with the "suspected" tank leak. Samples were collected from the site, including a diesel fuel sample from the tank, a light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) sample from the monitoring well in the immediate vicinity, and representative soil samples from the perimeter of, and beneath, the tank. A tiered laboratory analytical approach was taken, which included initial gas chromatography-flame ionization detector carbon chain analysis and final gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or detailed fingerprint analyses. Based on the results of initial inspection, knowledge of LNAPL mobility in response to earthquake seismic waves, and chemical fingerprints of representative samples, it was determined that the soil staining was not a result of suspected tank release but remobilization of hydrocarbons from the historically impacted soil beneath the tank to the soil along the perimeter of the tank.

“…Fortunately, several microorganisms are equipped with metabolic machinery to use petroleum as a carbon and energy source through either aerobic or anaerobic pathways (Magot et al, 2000;Borzenkov et al, 2006;da Cruz et al, 2011). n-Alkanes, isoprenoids, hopanes, steranes and aromatic hydrocarbons are biomarker compounds found in crude oil from formerly living organisms whose organic materials were preserved within source rocks over geologic times (Peters et al, 2005;Wang and Yang, 2007).…”
