The composition of petroleum oils and their products is highly complex. A tiered approach to the chemical analysis is presented, ranging from relatively simple bulk assessments through to intricate fingerprinting techniques. An example of a standard operating procedure is included to provide detailed guidance for the analysis of hydrocarbons in petroleum oils. Environmental considerations with respect to weathering and degradation are also addressed to afford the assessment of environmental contamination following spillages.
