Abstract
Recent advances in modern chemistry provide environmental scientists with the ability to identify and track spilled oil residues in various environments. The compounds commonly used to identify the source of spilled oil are called biomarkers, they are universal in crude oil and petroleum products and are generally more stable to atmospheric environmental influences than most other oil constituents. The distribution of biomarker compounds is unique to each oil. Fingerprint indices calculated from oil fingerprints provide a stable and useful tool for determining the correspondence or non-correspondence of various oil residues present in some environmental samples. This paper highlights the main biomarkers of oil, their role in the study of oil and its deposits, and also shows the results of the authors’ own research.
