Geochemistry of Oil Fields, East Java Basin: Biomarker Characterisation-Juniper Publishers
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS- ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Abstract Biomarkers are molecular fossils derived from living organisms and these complex compounds are composed of carbon, hydrogen and other elements. Biomarkers show little or no change in chemical structure from their parent organic molecules in living organisms [1]. Biomarkers are very useful due to their complex structures, revealing precise information about the depositional origins. It has been recognized that biomarkers in oils and rock extracts reflect depositional environment [1-3]. Therefore, biomarkers are used to achieve the objectives in such study to know the characterization of oil samples. Keywords: Fossils; Biomarkers; Oil; Isoprenoids; Marginal marine Introduction A study was conducted to analyze the oil characterizations in the oil Fields of East Java Basin (oil to oil correlation) based on biomarkers. The North East Java basin is located on the sou...
