APPLICATIONS OF SPECTRAL FINGERPRINTING OF HYDROCARBONS AND OTHER ORGANICS

摘要

A method of obtaining a spectra on a hydrocarbon containing sample, that may include (A) Contacting the sample with an ionic liquid to create a prepared sample, and/or may also include (B) Processing the prepared sample through a spectroscopic system to obtain a spectra corresponding to the sample, wherein the spectra is suitable for determining the presence of and identity of any organic materials present sample. The sample may comprise soil, fluids, plants, drill cuttings, drilling mud, cores, water, blood, food, formation tester samples, or combinations thereof.
