− | This case study demonstrates the utility of compound concentration data and emphasizes the use of routine oil–oil correlation data in predicting the depositional setting of oils. Later efforts have confirmed several of these predictions using similar correlation tools on prospective source rocks in the region.<ref name=ch08r31>Mello, M., R., Telnæs, N., Gaglianone, P., C., Chicarelli, M., I., Brassell, S., C., Maxwell, J., R., 1988b, Organic geochemical characterisation of depositional palaeoenvironments of source rocks and oils in Brazilian marginal basins: Organic Geochemistry, vol. 13, p. 31–45, DOI: 10.1016/0146-6380(88)90023-X.</ref> The resulting oil–source rock correlations are supported by a similarly wide range of analytical approaches. | + | This case study demonstrates the utility of compound concentration data and emphasizes the use of routine oil–oil correlation data in predicting the depositional setting of oils.
