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.

We introduced the usage of a box-size numerical model of miscible multiphase flow, with explicit advection and diffusion in both the liquid and gas phases, to model the migration and…

In petroleum geochemistry, a source rock is classified as an interval of rock that contains sufficient organic matter of the right type that has the potential to generate, or has already generated, commercial quantities of hydrocarbons.

Storage of CO2 in geological formations depends on a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms such as physical trapping below caprocks or trapping by dissolution in groundwater. The most effective storage mechanism is the permanent mineralisation of CO2 by conversion into carbonate minerals (Benson et al. , 2005).

A major aim of reactive flow models in CCS activities is to understand and predict the evolution of the CO2 plume injected in the reservoir for planning and monitoring purposes (e. g. Jenkins et al. , 2015).

This unusual hopane-like compound is recognised together with the hopanes in the m/z 191 mass chromatogram and was for many years used as a biomarker of hypersalinity due to its common high abundance in sediments deposited under such conditions.  However, a key paper by Sinninghe-Damsté et al.

The geological storage of CO2 is a promising means to help reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during the energy transition stages (e. g. , Raza et al. , 2022).
