Abstract: A method and a system for creating a reference standard for hydrogen sulfide concentrations in crude oil are described. The method includes receiving a volume of crude oil in a vessel. A hydrogen sulfide gas is flowed from a pressurized gas cylinder to the vessel to form a hydrogen sulfide gas-crude oil mixture. The hydrogen sulfide gas continues to flow from the pressurized gas cylinder to the vessel at a set pressure for a predetermined time to adjust the hydrogen sulfide concentration in the hydrogen sulfide gas-crude oil mixture to a hydrogen sulfide threshold concentration. The flow of the hydrogen sulfide gas into the vessel is stopped.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for analyzing petroleum samples. Different boiling curves are received that are calculated for a petroleum sample using different analytical speciation techniques. The boiling curves include: 1) a detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA) is used for a speciation of light-end components of the petroleum sample; 2) a comprehensive 2-dimensional (2D) gas chromatography (GCxGC) is used for a speciation of a middle distillates range of the petroleum sample; and 3) a high-resolution mass spectrometry is used for a speciation of heavy-end components of the petroleum sample. A compositional coverage of the different analytical speciation techniques for the petroleum samples is determined using the different boiling curves. Each of the different analytical speciation techniques covers a different boiling range and produces a compositional model modeling a breakdown of components in the petroleum sample by carbon number, aromatic ring family, and heteroatom class.
