ABSTRACT Major advances have been made on analyses of petroleum hydrocarbons in oils, petroleum products and complex oil-spill-related environmental samples. This paper briefly describes how the advanced chemical fingerprinting and data interpretation techniques are used to identify the source(s) of tarballs from the coast of Vancouver Island and Northern California. Characterization of the unknown oil was achieved by not only a variety of “standard” analyses including distribution analyses of aliphatic, aromatic and biomarker hydrocarbons, but also analyses of diagnostic ratios of “source-specific marker” compounds, in particular the alkylated series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons within the same alkylation isomeric groups. Results of the analysis revealed that (1) California/Oregon and British Columbia/Washington tarball samples were chemically similar, but were identified to be from two different types of bunker fuel; (2) the source of the tarball samples was neither Alaska North Slope oil nor California Monterrey Miocene oil; and (3) the spilled oil samples have been highly weathered since release, and the California samples were more heavily weathered than the British Columbia samples.
