Abstract

A new frontier in the characterization of crude oil emerged through the development of a new technique known as petroleomics. This innovative technique uses electrospray ionization and Fourier transform mass spectrometry (ESI-FT MS), allowing the analysis of polar compounds present in oils with high speed and ultra-high resolution and accuracy. In doing so, the technique reveals new classes of biomarkers for various aspects of geochemical exploration and refining, such as origin, biodegradation, thermal evolution, acidity, corrosiveness, and API grade. This study shows the results obtained in the development of new methods and application of this technique in the characterization of Brazilian oils.
