Factors controlling the abundance and carbon isotopic composition of land-plant derived compounds in crude oils.

This thesis describes a study in petroleum geochemistry and specifically of the application of Land-plant derived hydrocarbons to elucidating source matter type, depositional environment and thermal maturity of crude oils. Large volumes of petroleum have been generated from land-plant organic matter...
