Abstract

A number of novel series of organic sulphur compounds (OSC) have been identified in several oils and sediment extracts including Rozel Point oil (Box Elder County, Utah, U.S.A.; Miocene. Because the carbon skeletons of the OSC identified have the same structures as the well known hydrocarbons from geological materials these compounds are thought to be products of sulphur incorporation reactions into specific precursors.
