Stratigraphic Units of Indian Petroliferous Basins

Relative amount of normal paraffins in Recent sediments

showing predominance of odd-carbon chains (after Hunt)

Gas chromatograms
showing progressive
degradation of crude oil in
several fields in Alberta,
Canada.
The top graph is of unaltered
oil which contains all the
normal paraffins.
As the oil becomes more
degraded the normal
paraffins disappear, but
pristane and phytane
persist. Finally even they
disappear.

Canada)

world (after Con an et al.)

various origin.
