Sediment gases as indicators of subsurface hydrocarbon generation and entrapment : examining the record both in laboratory and field studies
Surface geochemistry, the measurement of near-surface hydrocarbons, has been used by the petroleum industry for more than 80 years to explore for subsurface petroleum deposits. The fact that hydrocarbons generated deep in the sedimentary section from thermally mature organic rich rocks can migrate t...
