In the present work, a novel workflow based on complementary gas-phase separations is
applied to the characterization of deasphalted light (Macondo and Calvert), medium (Duri) …

The molecular composition of two shale oils (from US Western and Russian Slanet mines)
was studied using 15 T Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT …

High-resolution mass spectrometry enables molecular characterization of heavy petroleum
fractions for petroleomics research. However, results from mass spectrometry are usually not …

Thousands of chemically distinct compounds are encountered in fossil oil samples that
require rapid screening and accurate identification. In the present paper, we show for the …

A Liaohe crude oil was separated as saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA)
and neutral nitrogen fractions. The crude oil and its subfractions were analyzed by negative …

A sequential method that deterministically estimates the molecular composition of heavy oil
is reported. A sample of vacuum residua is preseparated into seven fractions: saturated (Sa) …

In this study, a heavy crude oil sample was separated on the basis of solubility and polarity,
resulting in saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA) fractions. The fractions …

Asphaltenes are n-alkane insoluble compounds found in crude oils and heavy fuels (high
and non-boiling petroleum fractions). Asphaltene molecular structure has not been fully …

In the present work, a novel workflow based on complementary gas-phase separations for
the identification of isomeric PAHs from complex mixtures is described. This is the first report …

Linear alkanes are a class of compounds known to negatively affect the physical
performance of lubricant base oils. The ability to rapidly identify and quantify linear alkanes …
