| Abstract: | High resolution capillary gas chromatography studies, were performed to compare and group oils from three different Kuwaiti wells completed in the same structural sand. These groupings contributed to the identification of the nature, origin and maturity of the crudes under study. Analysing the fingerprint gas chromatograms of the three Kuwaiti crude oils, it was found that the crudes are from a carbonate rock source origin. The chromatographic fingerprints showed that two of these crudes are almost identical in composition and belong to the same reservoir, while the other crude is different in its composition reservoir source. |
