δ<sup>13</sup>C and δD Values of <i>n</i>-Alkanes from In-Reservoir Biodegraded Oils: Implications for Understanding the Mechanisms of Biodegradation and for Petroleum Exploration
This study investigates the magnitude and direction of stable C and H isotope shifts of <i>n-</i>C<sub>15–30</sub> alkanes from biodegraded oils sourced from Type II (Oil suite S) and Type II/III (Oil suite H) kerogens. Compound-specific isotope data show a 2.0‰ <sup>13...
