Biosignatures

This is done using Quick Bound Biomarkers (QBB)

Deliverables

We supply:

Standard sterane and hopane abundances and key compound ratios for biomarkers released from kerogen or petroleum asphaltenes by MSSV-Hy, as well as for freely occurring saturated hydrocarbon biomarkers

Samples

You provide:

Very low sample quantities!
Source rocks, reservoir rocks or stains (5g), and/or seeps, DSTs, produced crude oil (3ml)

Components

Facies, maturity and secondary alteration parameters. Minimised risk from OBM or biodegradation.
