Summary
Energy has been playing a key role in the development of modern human society for many years. A person in modern industrialized society consumes approximately ten times more energy than one in the agricultural society because modern human is relying on energy for food production, heating, construction, and transportation.[1−3] Fossil fuels especially crude oil have been one of the most heavily used energy resources. It is well-known that oil is a limited resource and people are continuously looking for new alternative energy.[4,5] the transition of our society to adapt to new energy source will take decades[6] and it is logical to identify and use more immediately usable energy resources. As the world’s crude oil deposit becomes heavier, it is less efficient to utilize the Understanding the heavy component of crude oil at the molecular level has been very important to improve petroleum processing.[9,10] Petroleomics refers to a research effort where detailed knowledge of heavy crude oil is pursued.[11,12] High resolution mass spectrometry especially
