A distinctive difference of hydrocarbon in crude oil and petroleum products exists. Depending on the origin where it comes from, crude oil shows its own unique pattern which is different from petroleum products containing characteristics according to their operating process and production period. A process of mixing behavior in a tank containing residual amounts of oil draws its own pattern when analysis is conducted. The analytical process described above is named oil fingerprint method. This study investigates an effectiveness of the method for comparing data sets produced by conventional gas chromatography with mass spectrometer (GC/MS) and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC X GC) which is known as powerful new technology for chemical analysis.
