Molecular indicators of secondary oil migration distances

Article Abstract:

Two non-alkylated benzocarbazoles, a and c, can be used as trace elements for secondary petroleum migration. The two isomers adsorb minerals at different rates, allowing researchers to identify the path taken by petroleum from its source to its final accumulation area. Petroleum companies can use the trace molecules to identify new potential petroleum reserves on the Earth's surface.

Anaerobic hydrocarbon biodegradation in deep subsurface oil reservoirs

Article Abstract:

The isolation of metabolites indicative of anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation from a large fraction of 77 degraded oil samples from both marine and lacustrine sources from around the world, including the volumetrically important Canadian tar sands are reported. The findings confirm that anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation is a common process in biodegraded subsurface oil reservoirs.

Crude-oil biodegradation via methanogenesis in subsurface petroleum reservoirs

Article Abstract:

The impact of the crude-oil biodegradation through methanogenesis in subsurface petroleum reservoirs is discussed. The analysis shows that such biodegradation helps in the economic production of energy from oilfields, which is normally found to be a tough task.
