Biomarker Guide 2 vols
Peters

The second edition of The Biomarker Guide is a fully updated and expanded version of this essential reference. Now in two volumes, it provides a comprehensive account of the role biomarker technology plays both in petroleum exploration and in understanding Earth history and processes. Biomarkers are compounds found in crude oil with structures inherited from once-living organisms. They persist in oil spills, refinery products and archaeological artifacts, and can be used to identify the origin, geological age and environmental conditions prevalent during their formation and alteration. This Guide details the origin of petroleum, technology for its analysis and key parameters for interpretation. The Biomarker Guide is an invaluable resource for geologists, petroleum geochemists, biogeochemists, environmental scientists and archaeologists.• An all-inclusive reference guide • Describes key methods for geochemical analysis of petroleum • Ties petroleum geochemistry to environmental and forensic chemistry, archaeology, biogeochemistry and natural product chemistryPraise for first edition: 'The authors should be congratulated for compiling and publishing this important and useful guide.' Raphael Ikan, Organic GeochemistryPraise for first edition: 'This book will rapidly become the standard in the field ... required reading for anyone interested in understanding biomarkers and their application in petroleum geology.' Joseph A. Curiale, American Association of Petroleum GeologistsPraise for the first edition: 'The book is a must for any geological research library, and certainly a necessary reference for petroleum research.' William D. Bischoff, Carbonates and Evaporites
