The rhenium-osmium (Re–Os) isotope system has been applied to several marine and lacustrine petroleum systems worldwide, showing good potential for dating crude oils and correlating them to their source rocks. Here we explore the applicability of the Re–Os geochronometer and Os isotope fingerprintin...
