Effects of source, thermal maturity, and biodegradation on the distribution and isomerization of homohopanes in petroleum
Kenneth E. Peters,J.M. Moldowan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the C35-homohopane index decreases with increasing API gravity and thermal maturity of related oils from the Monterey Formation, offshore California, showing that identical heating conditions result in different homopane C-22 epimer ratios.

TL;DR: In this paper, two new rearranged hopanoid hydrocarbons have been isolated from a Prudhoe Bay crude, Alaska, using X-ray crystallography, and the structures of these hopanes are consistent with an origin by catalytic rearrangement from hopenes during early diagenesis.

Oil and gas geochemistry and petroleum systems of the Fort Worth Basin
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the marine Mississippian Barnett Shale is the primary source rock for petroleum in the Fort Worth Basin, although contributions from other sources are possible.

Selective biodegradation of extended hopanes to 25-norhopanes in petroleum reservoirs. Insights from molecular mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, the C-25 methyl group from the extended 17α,21β(H)-hopanes (hopanes) generates 25-norhopanes in crude oils from the West Siberia and San Joaquin basins.
