Abstract:

This dataset contains signal intensity generated by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC FID) for the dead oil fraction of a fluid sample collected from the Macondo well on June 21 2010. The sample was collected using an isobaric gas-tight (IGT) sampler deployed from a remotely operated vehicle. These data were generated at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
