  2. Petroleum geochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_geochemistry

    Oil-oil correlations (comparing petroleum to other oil found locally or in other areas) and oil-source correlations (comparing petroleum and its source) were performed; infrared spectrometry, refractive indices, solvent extractable organic matter, compound class distribution, and elemental analysis are all methods of doing oil-source correlations.

  3. Oil analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_analysis

    Oil sampling is a procedure for collecting a volume of fluid from lubricated or hydraulic machinery for the purpose of oil analysis. Much like collecting forensic evidence at a crime scene, when collecting an oil sample, it is important to ensure that procedures are used to minimize disturbance of the sample during and after the sampling process.

  4. Ferrography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrography

    Ferrography is a method of oil analysis used to inspect the severity and mechanisms of wear in machinery. This is achieved by separating ferrous debris from lubricating oil by use of a magnetic field with an instrument called a ferrograph, the result is then examined with microscopy. A trained analyst can then diagnose faults or predict failures.

  5. Geologic modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_modelling

    The thin red circular contour line in the middle of the map indicates the top of the oil reservoir. Because gas floats above oil, the thin red contour line marks the gas/oil contact zone. Geologic modelling, geological modelling or geomodelling is the applied science of creating computerized representations of portions of the Earth's crust ...

  6. Petroleum geology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_geology

    If the likelihood of there being a source rock is thought to be high, the next matter to address is the state of thermal maturity of the source, and the timing of maturation. Maturation of source rocks (see diagenesis and fossil fuels ) depends strongly on temperature, such that the majority of oil generation occurs in the 60 to 120 °C (140 to ...

    Ferromagnetism: A state of matter with spontaneous magnetization. Antiferromagnetism: A state of matter in which the neighboring spin are antiparallel with each other, and there is no net magnetization. Ferrimagnetism: A state in which local moments partially cancel. Altermagnetism: A state with zero net magnetization and spin-split electronic ...

  9. Crude oil assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crude_oil_assay

    The results of crude oil assay testing provide extensive detailed hydrocarbon analysis data for refiners, oil traders and producers. Assay data help refineries determine if a crude oil feedstock is compatible for a particular petroleum refinery or if the crude oil could cause yield, quality, production, environmental and other problems.
