  • Method for separating iso-alkanes and cycloalkanes from an oil
    Patent number: 10150055
    Abstract: Method for the processing of a mixture of organic compounds, in particular of an oil, in order to recover different constituents therefrom. This method makes it possible to separate a fraction of iso-alkanes and cycloalkanes from a sample of a mixture of organic compounds, said method comprising a separation step by liquid chromatography.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Coralie Serres Piole, Jean-Bernard Berrut
  • Method for isolating diamondoids
    Patent number: 10080980
    Abstract: Method for separating the diamondoids by liquid chromatography from a sample of iso-alkanes and cycloalkanes, or from a mixture of organic compounds, this method comprising introducing the sample into a column comprising a stationary phase comprising a material capable of forming inclusion complexes with the diamondoids, eluting with an eluent, and collecting the eluted fraction.

  • Process for detecting and characterizing formation hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 6271518
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the exploration for and exploitation of formation hydrocarbons. According to the invention, a sample of material, representative of the impregnation with hydrocarbons of the rocks passed through, is taken during a drilling operation, with which sample a value of an emission flux, representative of the concentration of the fluorescent elements in the sample, and a value of a fluorescence quotient, which reflects the nature of the hydrocarbons present in the sample, are determined by spectrofluorimetry. The invention finds its application in analytical laboratories and on the drilling sites of petroleum production fields.
