This course focuses on characteristics and chemical makeup of petroleum, tracing maturation of organic matter to petroleum It emphasizes on the development of kerosene and bitumen as transitional steps and explains modification of intermediate material during diagnosis, cytogeneses and mutagenesis It will also present examples of source-rock studies, crude oil correlations and crude oil source rock parings It demonstrates uses and limitation of geochemical techniques and their importance in exploration and production
