Abstract of the Disclosure The geochemical oil prospecting method is disclosed in which a crude oil sample is analyzed for the presence of distinctive patterns of aromatic sulfur compounds which are indicative of the petroleum source rock type. Using relative proportions of benzothiophenes, dibenzo- thiophene, isomeric methyl dibenzothiophenes, dimethyl- and trimethyl- dibenzothiophenes a crude oil can be identified as having a carbonate or siliciclastic source. The information obtained can be used in combination with geological and seismic studies to determine potential oil locations.
