Time-Resolved Fluorescence Microspectroscopy for Characterizing Crude Oils in Bulk and Hydrocarbon-Bearing Fluid Inclusions

Abstract: Abstract:Time-resolved fluorescence data was collected from a series of 23 bulk crude petroleum oils and 6 microscopic Hydrocarbon-bearing Fluid Inclusions (HCFI). The data was collected using a Diode Laser Fluorescence Lifetime Microscope (DLFLM) over the 460-700 nm spectral range using a 405 nm excitation source. The correlation between intensity averaged lifetimes (τ ) and chemical and physical parameters was examined with a view to developing a quantitative model for predicting the gross chemical compositi… Show more

“…The fact that there are very large numbers of interacting fluorophores produces very complex decay behaviour. In previous work from this laboratory [9][10][11][12][13][14] the intensity averaged lifetime calculated from a multiple discrete lifetime model was used. However, it should be noted that while this model is not an accurate descriptor of the emitting species, it had utility in describing general trends in the photophysics of crude oils.…”

“…Lo, 1987;Diessel and Gammidge, 1998;Han et al, 1999;Tyson, 2006;Chang et al, 2008). It is widely recognized that increasing the excitation wavelength may affect fluorescence properties resulting in changes in the resulting fluorescence emission bands, Stokes' shifts, fluorescence lifetimes, and quantum yields (Wang et al, 1994;Downare and Mullins, 1995;Kihle, 1995;Lakowicz, 1999;Ryder et al, 2004).…”

“…During the past 20 years, analytical methods have seen great improvement, providing for better determination of the composition, source, and maturity of inclusion oils. Some of these advanced techniques include synchronous excitation-emission micro-luminescence spectroscopy (Kihle, 1993(Kihle, , 1995Musgrave et al, 1994;Ryder, 2004;Abbas et al, 2006), and time-resolved fluorescence microspectroscopy (Ryder, 2002;Ryder et al, 2002Ryder et al, , 2004. Currently, fluorescence spectroscopy has become an effective and non-destructive tool for supplementing molecular analysis using chromatography (Pang et al, 1998;Jones and Macleod, 2000;George et al, 2001;Li and Parnell, 2003;Dutkiewicz et al, 2007).…”
