Abstract
Development and demonstration of a new method for highly accurate forecasting of the hydrocarbon composition of oil based on determining the spectrum of its universal material constant–dielectric function, as by direct measurement using the method of spectroscopic ellipsometry, are today accepted as the world standard for determining the optical functions of any substance in a liquid or solid state, and by its quantum-mechanical calculation from first principles to complete coincidence with the measurement results. A methodology will be proposed for the complete description of any oil and the identification of it belonging to a particular oilfield. The methodology is not only universal and highly accurate, but also economical. In this work, we obtained several groups of fractions of crude oilsamples from different oil fields in Azerbaijan, which were accessed by spectroscopic ellipsometry over the 1.5–6.5 eV spectral range at room-temperature. Optical constants and dielectric function were obtained for massive samples of each substance and fractions. The proposed method is a complete dielectric fingerprint of oils for widespread use, including for environmental monitoring of oil-contaminated areas of the sea and land.
