The conclusion of Peters et al.<ref name=ch08r41 />) that the “low-C<sub>29</sub>” oils are most likely sourced from the Bazhenov Formation is based upon isotopic and molecular data that are unaffected by maturity and alteration differences that the oils suffered after leaving the Bazhenov source rock. These changes caused variations in sulfur concentrations from less than 0.5% to greater than 2.0%. This case study emphasizes the importance of using source-distinctive biomarker and isotopic data to see through the changes wrought by differences in oil maturity and in-reservoir alteration.
