Diamondoid hydrocarbon ratios as indicators of biodegradation in Australian crude oils
The effect of biodegradation on diamondoid distributions in petroleum has been investigated on a series of crude oils reservoired in two Australian sedimentary basins, the Gippsland Basin and the Carnarvon Basin. The ratio of methylada-mantanes to adamantane rises with increasing biodegradation. Sig...
