A multitude of maturity parameters using a range of different compound classes have been tested and developed in the past for use in oils, in order to determine the maturity of their source rocks.
This extensive geochemical database has been completed in a major project funded by the Oil & Gas Authority, and has now been made freely available to all via the OGA website.

The demethylated hopane 17α,21β(H)-28,30-bisnorhopane (Figure 1) is a compound regularly used as a stratigraphic marker, particularly for Upper Jurassic source rocks and associated expelled oils within the North Sea and Norwegian Sea; however, there is still very little known of its origin. Figure 1.
We are delighted to announce the dates of our next 2019 IGI training courses, to be held in our Devon, UK office.
