Heavy oils—seismic properties

Heavy-oil seismic properties are strongly dependent on composition and temperature. In biodegraded oils, straight chain alkanes are destroyed and complex heavy compounds dominate. As a result, the simple empirical trends developed for light oils for fluid properties such as viscosities, densities, gas-oil ratios, and bubble points may not apply well to heavy oils.
