Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated means that the hydrocarbon has only single bonds and that the hydrocarbon contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. Unsaturated ...

a) Gas chromatogram of hydrocarbons extracted from the Arctic strain ARC1 of D. rotunda. b) Amount of C10-C38 saturated hydrocarbons in 11 strains of D. rotunda. c) Amount of C10-C38 saturated ...

IMAGE: This artistic view of the Earth’s interior shows hydrocarbons forming in the upper mantle and transported through deep faults to shallower depths in the Earth’s crust. The inset shows a… Click ...

We discovered that Dicrateria rotunda (D. rotunda), a species of Haptophyte, can synthesize hydrocarbons equivalent to petroleum (saturated hydrocarbons with a carbon number ranging from 10 to 38). No ...

Hydrocarbons enter the environment from many sources, including marine algae and natural hydrocarbon seeps, as well as anthropogenic sources that are associated with the production, transport and use ...

A proposed technique determines the hydrocarbon recovery factor and mobility from resistivity logs. This technique provides the petrophysicist with the following benefits: In the early stage of a well ...

Oil and gas started out as living organisms that died, were compressed, and were heated under layers of sediments in the Earth's crust. Scientists have debated for years whether some of these ...
