Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Biomarker Database Table

<div>The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) biomarker database table contains publicly available results from Geoscience Australia's organic geochemistry (ORGCHEM) schema and supporting oracle databases for the molecular (biomarker) compositions of source rock extracts and petroleum liquids (e.g., condensate, crude oil, bitumen) sampled from boreholes and field sites. These analyses are undertaken by various laboratories in service and exploration companies, Australian government institutions and universities using either gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS). Data includes the borehole or field site location, sample depth, shows and tests, stratigraphy, analytical methods, other relevant metadata, and the molecular composition of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic compounds, which contain either nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur.</div><div><br></div><div>These data provide information about the molecular composition of the source rock and its generated petroleum, enabling the determination of the type of organic matter and depositional environment of the source rock and its thermal maturity. Interpretation of these data enable the determination of oil-source and oil-oil correlations, migration pathways, and any secondary alteration of the generated fluids. This information is useful for mapping total petroleum systems, and the assessment of sediment-hosted resources. Some data are generated in Geoscience Australia’s laboratory and released in Geoscience Australia records. Data are also collated from destructive analysis reports (DARs), well completion reports (WCRs), and literature. The biomarker data for crude oils and source rocks are delivered in the Petroleum and Rock Composition – Biomarker web services on the Geoscience Australia Data Discovery Portal at https://portal.ga.gov.au which will be periodically updated.</div>
