Why is it important?
The technique can also, be used to detect adulteration of crude oils and other petroleum products in the petroleum manufacturing industries, thus making it an effective tool for quality assessment.
Perspectives
It is recommended that state-owned corporations, petroleum research institutes and laboratories adopt the use of the LIF technique to identify and classify petroleum oil samples because of its cost-efficient, simple design, rapid result and quality assurance outcome. The technique can also be used to detect adulteration of crude oils and other petroleum products in the petroleum manufacturing industries, thus making it an effective tool for quality assessment.

Metallic Composition Analysis of Crude Petroleum from Some Oil Fields in Ghana
Qualitative and quantitative analyses of chemical elements in crude petroleum using energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopic technique has attracted the attention of the scientific world because it is fast, cheap, non-destructive and assurance in quality compared to other methods. Metallic element characterisation of crude petroleum is important in the petrochemical industry because it determines rock reservoir properties, the technology needed for extraction and refinery process, hence an exciting field that calls for research.
Natural Radionuclide Analysis on Crude Petroleum from Some Oil Fields in Ghana
The petroleum industries benefit immensely from developing scientific processes and procedures that determine characteristics of crude oils and distinct them. This is because crude oils are acquired from various geological sources and each sedimentary rock has its own distinct chemical properties that affect extraction, refinery and environmental safety. Extraction of crude oils may result in the exposure of some radionuclide elements from sedimentary rocks into the environment. This nuclear exposure may affect lives and can cause ecological imbalance. Applications of gamma emission spectroscopy have grown rapidly around the world because of its accurate measurement and precision
