Abstract
Oil and gas are fossil mixtures with a large usage by the modern society to provide energy, chemicals, and materials. And this industry is a versatile branch of global economy, involving crude oil and natural gas extraction, processing, and usage.
In order to conduct the quality control and the research and development experiments, the use of advanced analytical techniques is paramount. Analytical techniques as GC, MS, AEOS/OES, XRF, and isotopic analysis are explored in this chapter for their application from the quantification and characterization of the hydrocarbons to the determination of the presence of contaminants, as metals.
Furthermore, issues related to market, industrial processing technologies, and natural resources are addressed too.
