Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining the origin of a mixture of constituents by spectral analysis. The invention especially relates to a method for determining the concentration and origin of raw gases and/or crude oils in a mixing zone following mixing by the transport of said raw gases and/or crude oils that come from at least two different sources of extraction, said method comprising a specific spectral analysis.
