Abstract
Aromatic hydrocarbon fractions from thirty gas condensates have been analysed by capillary GC and high resolution Shpol'skii spectroscopy for the determination of the relative distribution in methylphenanthrene (MP), dimethylphenanthrene (DMP) and methylpyrene (MPy) series. The measured maturity indices, MPI, DMPI and MPyI which appeared previously suitable for rocks, coals and crude oils have been tested for the recognition of rank levels of condensates. MPI and DMPI exhibit a remarkedly similar evolution which allows the differentiation of the samples analysed in these works. Such studies extend the applicability of alkylaromatic hydrocarbon ratios to the characterization of maturity level of condensates which range from immature-marginally mature to overmature samples, partially biodegraded or not.
