Oleanane is present in only some oils and source rocks. It occurs as two isomers – 18α(H) and 18b(H) – and is typically found as a doublet peak in the m/z 191 mass chromatogram eluting just before the C30 αb hopane.

The paper, in collaboration with @ Petrostrat and @ Geocosm , is entitled: “Under pressure: using basin models to help predict reservoir quality in the Garn Formation in the Norwegian Sea”
Focussing on the Middle Jurassic Garn Fm.

The C29 hopane, 30-norhopane, is not only a member of the series of regular hopanes but also of a less common series that lack the methyl group at C-22 in the side chain, the 30-norhopanes.

Highlights
Interpretation and integration of all data, from source rock screening (e.g., kerogen type, maturity) to isotopic & molecular data (e.g., palaeoenvironment, age)
Understanding fluid provenance, including fluid-source correlation, alteration, migration, maturity & source age
From regional screening, to detailed reservoir geochemistry & production allocation, IGI can help utilise all geochemical data to better understand subsurface systems
Powerful clustering, regression, classification, outlier detection & spatial interpolation of geochemical data
Geochemical interpretations can help ground-truth geological, reservoir & basin models
Integrating sample data into regional context, depending on the scope of work, location & data availability
Over 1,500 projects in most basins worldwide since 1983
Ranging from source rock characterisation to biomarker analysis to gas geochemistry
Data ingestion pipeline produces cleaned, quality-assured data for reliable interpretation
Utilising IGI’s ML Toolkit for powerful statistical insights
