The goal of this effort was to address the importance of laboratory quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) practices and to promote participation in quality assurance programs for hydrocarbon compounds. Over thirty laboratories expressed interest in participation in the Hydrocarbon Intercalibration Experiment. These laboratories were supplied with two petroleum crude oil samples provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2779 Gulf of Mexico Crude Oil [2], and candidate SRM 2777 Weathered Gulf of Mexico Oil. SRM 2779 was prepared from neat oil collected directly from the leaking Macondo well during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill event, and candidate SRM 2777 is a field-weathered residue of the Macondo well oil dissolved in toluene. Twenty laboratories submitted results on traditional analytes (that included saturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and biomarkers) measured by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry or flame ionization detection. The results for select hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and biomarkers from this intercomparison exercise are reported along with a summary of the analytical methods used. 517 $aGulf of Mexico research initiative 2014/2015 hydrocarbon intercalibration experiment 606 $aBP Deepwater Horizon Explosion and Oil Spill, 2010 606 $aLaboratories 606 $aQuality control 615 0$aBP Deepwater Horizon Explosion and Oil Spill, 2010. 615 0$aLaboratories. 615 0$aQuality control. 700 $aMurray$b Jacolin A$01422054 701 $aMurray$b Jacolin A$01422054 701 $aReddy$b Christopher M$01422055 701 $aSander$b Lane C$g(Lane Charles)$01388853 701 $aWise$b Stephen A$01388854 712 02$aMaterial Measurement Laboratory (U.S.) 801 0$bNBS 801 1$bNBS 801 2$bGPO 801 2$bNBS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910709596503321 996 $aGulf of Mexico research initiative 2014$93545176 997 $aUNINA
