Research of Eastern Siberia Oils with the Use of Infrared Spectroscopy Method

Abstract

Abstract Oil is a multicomponent mixture and infrared spectroscopy may be one of the most instant methods for determining the classes of hydrocarbon compounds. Oil consists of organic and mineral compounds. It is found in all types of rocks and can be met in the most unexpected places. The rate and volume of oil and gas production depends on many factors involving natural and man-made ones. The forecast for the development of fluid systems of various types and for their regimes plays an important part in assessing water resources, their management conditions, and for designing and developing hydrocarbon deposits. Currently, Eastern Siberia is one of the most attractive regions for investors [1-3]. There is one of the largest Russian oil and gas basins belonging to the Siberian platform in the Irkutsk region [4-6]. This work presents the study of Eastern Siberia oils with the use of infrared spectroscopy in order to determine the chemical group composition and spectral indices of oils.
