Hydrocarbon fluid samples from the Browse Basin, Australia, analyzed using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS). The data includes measurements of semi-volatile aromatics (SVA), diamondoids, aromatic maturity ratios, and stable carbon isotopic compositions for selected compounds. The study, published in Marine and Petroleum Geology in 2020, demonstrates mixed hydrocarbon sources in numerous basin accumulations.
Use Cases
- Correlating hydrocarbon fluids based on semi-volatile aromatic compound concentrations
- Identifying mixed-source accumulations using diamondoid and aromatic maturity ratio data
- Investigating basin fill history by detecting high-maturity fluids in biodegraded accumulations
- Distinguishing hydrocarbon sources from Jurassic formations like the Plover and Vulcan based on compound-specific isotopic values
Strengths
- Data is derived from a published scientific study in Marine and Petroleum Geology, Volume 113, 2020
- Analytical method is specified: comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS)
- Geographic focus is specific: Browse Basin, North West Shelf, Australia, with named fields and wells (e.g., Cornea, Gwydion-1, Kronos-1)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
