The scientific staff have been with the laboratory for more than two decades and a broad and extensive experience has been gained. The laboratory has been involved in both basic and applied research within a variety of fields in more than 30 different countries on five continents, provided extensive service to Danish authorities and carried out numerous consultancy projects for the petroleum industry and others. Prominent fields of work include the detailed characterisation of crude oils for use within mapping of petroleum type occurrence, correlation between oils and between oils and their sources, oil spill characterisation, elucidation of contamination, mixing problems in oil wells and pipelines, reservoir geochemistry studies, petroleum generation from coals, petrographic and geochemical characterisation of terrestrial, lacustrine and marine source rocks, organic maturity assessment by vitrinite reflectance, synthesis of authentic biomarker standard compounds and petrological studies of coals and chars. The laboratory cooperates with research institutes and oil companies around the world. For more than a decade the laboratory has been involved in technology transfer to developing countries and several professionals from these countries have received training at the laboratory. The laboratory serves extensively in the education of both technicians and professionals - numerous Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. projects have been supervised by the laboratory staff. |
