摘要
Hydrocarbons dissolved in subsurface waters can be determined by several analytical procedures. The method selected should depend upon the hydrocarbons of interest and the sensitivity required. These methods provide techniques that can be used as an aid in petroleum exploration, and provide information to help answer questions concerning petroleum origin, migration, and accumulation. Proper precautions must be taken to minimize hydrocarbon loss during sample collection, storage, and analysis. The solubility of hydrocarbons in water varies as much as 5-6 orders of magnitude, depending upon the hydrocarbon type and molecular weight within a homologous series. The concentration of dissolved hydrocarbons in subsurface brines varies widely from brine to brine. Marked variations also occur in the relative concentrations of the individual hydrocarbons dissolved. © 1969.
