Journal ArticleDOI
Biogenic methane formation in marine and freshwater environments: CO2 reduction vs. acetate fermentation—Isotope evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the carbon and hydrogen stable isotope composition of the methane as a function of the coexisting carbon dioxide and formation water precursors is used to distinguish two primary methanogenic pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane oxidation in sediment and water column environments—Isotope evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, three models: % residual methane, higher hydrocarbon enrichment, and CO2-CH4 coexisting pairs are used to independently calculate fractionation factors (αc) in the range of 1.002-1.014.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical carbon isotope/maturity relationships for gases from algal kerogens and terrigenous organic matter, based on dry, open-system pyrolysis
Ulrich Berner,Eckhard Faber +1 more
TL;DR: Berner et al. as discussed by the authors used a statistical curve-fitting procedure to relate carbon isotopic variations of light hydrocarbons directly to source rock maturity and can be applied where gases have accumulated instantaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary cracking of algal and landplant kerogens: Kinetic models of isotope variations in methane, ethane and propane
TL;DR: In this paper, an algae-rich kerogen and a xylite were subjected to an open-system pyrolysis that allows a simulation of primary cracking (temperatures: 20 to 810°C, heating rate: 5°C/min, helium flow: 21 ml/min) within the (measured) maturity range 0.3 to 5.4% vitrinite reflectance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maturity related mixing model for methane, ethane and propane, based on carbon isotopes
Ulrich Berner,Eckhard Faber +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model was developed to predict gas mixtures from two known end-members, based on the relationship between carbon isotope ratios of methane through propane, the molecular gas composition and the maturity of the organic precursor materials (sapropelic kerogen).
