| Content Summary | This study focuses on the geochemical evaluation of oils based on the composition of the aromatic fraction. A method was developed using Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the aromatic compounds. The method was applied on a set of ten samples from five different wells (K1, PN2, SK4, PB, and E1) of the Prinos basin (Greece). The analysis was carried out using the GC-MS analyzer GC: 7890A, MS: 5975C from Agilent Technologies. The aromatic compounds were identified based on their MS spectrum using Qualitative Analysis B.07.00 and quantified with MS Quantitative Analysis B.07.00 software packages. A series of 70 compounds were identified and evaluated as biomarkers, including naphthalenes, cadalene, dibenzothiophenes, phenanthrenes, anthracenes, pyrenes, perylene, fluoranthrenes, florenes, chrysenes and their alkylated versions. The findings of the aromatic biomarkers analysis certify the already existing geochemical information related to Prinos basin, and substantiate that the oils are nonbiodegradated and immature. They were formed in shale and carbonate source rock formations, with more terrestrial and less marine contribution of organic material, in a salinehypersaline environment. In addition the polyaromatic hydrocarbons are found to be mostly combustion-derived and less from natural biological precursors. | en |
