Abiogenic formation of alkanes in the Earth's crust as a minor source for global hydrocarbon reservoirs

TL;DR: The progressive isotopic trends for the series of C1–C4 alkanes indicate that hydrocarbon formation occurs by way of polymerization of methane precursors, and it can now be rule out the presence of a globally significant abiogenic source of hydrocarbons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solubility trapping in formation water as dominant CO2 sink in natural gas fields

TL;DR: It is suggested that long-term anthropogenic CO2 storage models in similar geological systems should focus on the potential mobility of CO2 dissolved in water, following the findings that geological mineral fixation is a minor CO2 trapping mechanism in natural gas fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unravelling abiogenic and biogenic sources of methane in the Earth's deep subsurface

TL;DR: In this paper, carbon and hydrogen isotopic signatures were used to estimate the relative contribution of abiogenic versus microbial hydrocarbon gases at four underground sites in Precambrian Shield rocks in Canada and South Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI

The yield and isotopic composition of radiolytic H2, a potential energy source for the deep subsurface biosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the importance of radiolytic H2 in subsurface environments and to determine whether its isotopic signature can be used as a diagnostic tool.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isotopic signatures of CH4 and higher hydrocarbon gases from Precambrian Shield sites: A model for abiogenic polymerization of hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is proposed to account for carbon isotope variation between CH 4 and the higher hydrocarbon gases (specifically ethane, propane, butane, and pentane) consistent with abiogenic polymerization.
