Fluorescence spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive, rapid, versatile, and inexpensive screening techniques in petroleum exploration and production. Some recent developments in instrumentation, software, and analytical procedures have led to the techniques being much more robust and quantitative than was previously possible. Fluorescence spectroscopic techniques may be used to augment or offer an alternative to petrographic, geochemical, and isotopic methods. This chapter provides an overview of recent developments in fluorescence spectroscopy with specific reference to petroleum geoscience and engineering and demonstrates some examples of techniques applicable to petroleum system analysis by providing information relating to petroleum generation, migration, accumulation, and preservation.
