The water quality assessment of part of oil producing Niger Delta of Nigeria is in progress.What parameters in water and sediment samples are associated with oil exploitation.
1- Look for total hydrocarbons by IR
2- Look for oxidations products of HC
our lab determines low-level PAH for NOAA and USFWS using performance based methods. we also conduct environmental baseline surveys for the offshore oil industry that involve a standard set of analytes in water and soil. contact [email protected]
PHC and other related components can be analyzed using a lot of methods starting from FT IR, Uv Vis, Fluorescence spectra, GC MS, HPLC and simplest GC
standard Crude oil or chrysene or other standards can be used for analyzing PHC or related compounds....
We have capability for this work in India

Jones Environmental Laboratory is based in the UK but does analysis for a number of companies in Africa. Also, UIS Organic, based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
You'll need to look for components such as BTEXN and specifically high chain carbon compiunds C10 - C40 for crude. Also, PAH compounds.
The Central Instrumentation Laboratory at Covenant University, Ota is well equipped for the analysis of PAHs, OVOCs & halogenated organic compounds.
Good morning!
In Europe you have Alcontrol and Eurofins, they allow you to deliver the samples and the materials to differents locations.
Good luck!
You should request analysis of individual PAH compounds, probably including alkanes. This will allow fingerprinting of PAHs for comparison with any future discharges of petroleum to the water.
