Abstract:
Oil–oil and oil–source rock correlations are an essential tool for assisting petroleum exploration in basins with multiple petroleum systems. To evaluate these relationships in several New Zealand basins, a set of 10 oils and gas condensates were investigated by standardised molecular organic-geochemical methods [gas chromatography (GC), GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), GCisotope ratio-MS)] to assess oil quality, source and maturity, and to verify previous data and interpretations for these samples.
