INFRARED SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF EOM FROM CAMBAY BASIN

The infrared spectroscopy has been used for characterisation of EOM, a sphaltenes and crude oils of the Cambay basin. The functional groups o f EOM, asphaltene and crude oil were characterised and extinction rati os at maximum wavenumbers of the respective groups were calculated. On the basis of these data, the type of EOM, its evolution path-and orig inal organic matter of Cambay basin have been identified.
