ABSTRACT:
An ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence microspectrophotometry process for measuring fluorescence spectra of oils in individual micro-sized inclusions. Interpretation of UV fluorescence of oil inclusions in an unknown sample is made by comparison to fluorescence spectra of oils of known composition. This method is a non-destructive process which allows the quality of oils in the undrilled basin to be determined by analyzing outcrop samples containing oil-bearing inclusions. By comparing the fluorescence properties of inclusion oils and reservoir oils, the history of oil migration in petroleum basins can be reconstructed.
