Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time of flight mass spectrometry applied to biomarker analysis of oils from Colombia
In order to become GC x GC-TOFMS a useful tool in geochemical oil prospecting, it is mandatory to be able to calculate quantitative geochemical parameters. A suite of Colombian oils from Upper Magdalena Valley Basin was chosen to obtaining several thermal maturity and source parameters based on biomarker ratios showing that GC x GC-TOFMS is able to be used to provide relevant geochemical information.
