This will then facilitate rapid and accurate oil-source and oil-oil correlations to be determined for the first time in Ocean Margin regions. The study will establish a firm base to exploit the commercial potential of hydropyrolysis, both in terms of oil exploration through the new correlations with bound biomarker profiles and of characterising sedimentary organic matter as a far superior technique to py-GC-MS. Indeed, innovative experimental protocols for conducting hydropyrolysis will continue to be developed to have a proto-type system ready for future exploitation.
