Characteristics of the distribution of Bi-, Tri-, Tetra-, and pentacyclic terpanes in Kalmykia crude oils

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

The characteristics of the distribution of bi-, tri-, tetra-, and pentacyclic terpanes in Jurassic and Cretaceous Kalmykia crudes were investigated. It was found that these crudes are distinguished by high relative concentrations of tri-, tetra-, and pentacyclic C19-C35 terpanes and C14-C16 bicyclic terpanes (sesquiterpanes). It was shown that these crudes contain all ten of the C14-C16 sesquiterpanes usually present in crude oils and that the Jurassian and Cretaceous crudes can not only differ with respect to the generally accepted indexes – tri-, tetra-, and pentacyclic terpanes, but also with respect to these hydrocarbons.
