ALF Compatible UV Fluorescence Spectra of 120 Offshore Western Australia Oils

120 oil samples from offshore Western Australia were analyzed using ultraviolet fluorescence spectroscopy. The Australian Geological Survey Organization (AGSO) produced this data to correlate airborne laser fluorosensor survey anomalies with known oil signatures. This report is designed as a standalone product for industry comparison.

Use Cases

• Correlating airborne laser fluorosensor (ALF) survey anomalies with known oil types based on fluorescence signatures.
• Typing hydrocarbon seeps to their geological source based on aromatic hydrocarbon profiles.
• Characterizing the petroleum systems of offshore Western Australia using spectral data.

Strengths

• Contains fluorescence spectra for 120 distinct oil samples.
• Samples represent all known offshore Western Australian petroleum systems as defined in cited studies.
• Data collection uses a 266 nm excitation wavelength compatible with a specific operational ALF system.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
