This report presents an interpretation of the geochemical significance of a surface seep oil sample from the Subandino Norte of Bolivia. The oil from this seep is unusual because it contains a limited range of low molecular weight normal paraffins. Normal paraffins containing more than 12 carbons are absent from the oil, while normal paraffins having fewer than 12 carbons are conspicuous components of the oil. The compositional peculiarities of the oil are attributed to transport of hydrocarbons in water, with water playing an active role in the final composition of the seep. The composition of the seep oil is qualitatively consistent with that anticipated if the hydrocarbons were moved in molecular solution in water.
