Abstract :
Despite the multiple controls on the carbon isotopic composition of organic matter, δ13C values for saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions for over 300 Norwegian North Sea (Central Graben) oils range from −26 to −31‰ and from −24 to −30‰, respectively. However, for one oil (well 2/2-5), δ13C values for the saturate and aromatic fractions are −21.5‰ and −22‰, significantly enriched in 13C relative to the isotopic compositions of all oil fractions investigated. The saturate hydrocarbon fraction of the 2/2-5 oil is comprised predominantly of low-molecular-weight (
