Pyrolysis of asphaltenes from crude oils yields significant amounts of crude oil-like material. Studies of asphaltenes and their pyrolysis products from biodegraded and non-biodegraded oils show that biodegradation does not affect the composition of asphaltene. The overall composition of the oil produced from them on pyrolysis is similar to, yet significantly different from, that of the parent oil. From these compositional differences, it is concluded that asphaltene and its pyrolysis products contain geochemical information which is characteristic, and therefore may shed light on the history of the oil prior to asphaltene formation.
