By surface geo chemical survey we can't identify the migration path, reservoir geometry. we can only anticipate that HCs(gas ) presence.

What is petroleum?
A thick, flammable, mixture of hydrocarbons that occurs naturally beneath the earth's surface. It can be separated into natural gas, gasoline, naphtha, kerosene, fuel oil, lubricating oils, paraffin wax, and asphalt. Plus petroleum jelly.
When is it preferable to use a plastic volumetric flask?
The plastic flask is needed for trace analysis on analytes at ppb levels that might be lost by adsorption on the glass surface.
Does crude oil have a fixed chemical composition?
No, it is not not. Crude oil differs from one type to another depending the type and amount of impurities.An oil well produces predominantly crude oil, with some natural gas dissolved in it. Because the pressure is lower at the surface than underground, some of the gas will come out of solution and be recovered (or burned) as associated gas or solution gas. A gas well produces predominantly natural gas. However, because the underground temperature and pressure are higher than at the surface, the gas may contain heavier hydrocarbons such as pentane, hexane, and heptane in the gaseous state. At surface conditions these will condense out of the gas to form natural gas condensate, often shortened to condensate. Condensate resembles petrol in appearance and is similar in composition to some volatile light crude oils.The proportion of light hydrocarbons in the petroleum mixture (or crude oil) varies greatly among different oil fields, ranging from as much as 97 percent by weight in the lighter oils to as little as 50 percent in the heavier oils and bitumens.There are four main types of hydrocarbons found in crude oil.paraffins (15-60%)naphthenes (30-60%)aromatics (3-30%)asphaltics (remainder)Refer to link below
What is the chemical formula of Vasoline?
Vaseline is a mixture of long chain nonpolar hydrocarbons. They have an average length of about 20 to 25 carbon atoms. The extra surface area between these carbon chains compared to short chains causes greater dispersion forces between them and gives them a higher boiling point. This is why they remain semi-solid at room temperature.
What is difference between cameo surface and intilago surface?
Cameo Surface: The surface that you can see. Intaglio Surface: The surface that you cannot see. Example, there is a dish on the table. Upper side of the dish is cameo surface and the bottom side of the dish is intaglio surface.
What is the limitation of surface geo-chemical analysis to find hydro-carbon?
Hydrocarbon seeps are the limitation of surface geochemical analysis. Macro seepage is associated with major fault lines, while micro seepage is associated with rock formations.
What is surface tension in hydrocarbons?
Each liquid hydrocarbon has a different surface tension.
If man did not recover hydrocarbons from below the surface what percentage would naturally seep to the surface?
The percentage of hydrocarbons (especially oil) that are near the surface were used decades ago. This is why oil drilling is now done in kilometer deep water and with drill lines going down kilometers below the ocean floor - Wow. Uninformed.
What has the author John B Rapp written?
John B Rapp has written: 'Aliphatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments of Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor, Washington' -- subject(s): Hydrocarbons, Sediments (Geology)
A mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons located under the surface of earth often near petroleum deposist?
Natural gas
The ways by which a cell avoids surface limitations does not include?
being long and thin
Types of penetrating liquid used in liquid penetrant test?
Low molecular weight hydrocarbons - anything with a very low surface energy/contact angle/surface tension.
How do companies obtain them what are 3 uses of hydrocarbons and their benefits?
For companies to obtain Hydrocarbons they must drill a deep well to get crude oil and gas from under ground or the sea. The oil and gas comes up big pipes to the surface.
What are some limitations of geothermal energy?
you have to be in a surtain place were the magma is close to earths surface
What has the author Gernot Friedbacher written?

Is a surface the same as a surface area?
No. "surface area" or "specific surface area" is a value, not viewable and it can be analysis by gas sorption analyzers (such as static volumetric principle analyzer V-Sorb 2800P). But, the "surface" is viewable.
How much percent of nitregen is there on Pluto?
Analysis of the surface of Pluto indicates that it consists of 98% frozen nitrogen. The New Horizons spacecraft is expected to reach Pluto in 2015. It is hoped that more detailed analysis of the surface and atmosphere will then be available.
