AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for identifying the genesis of natural gas and comparing its sources are insufficient to provide effective information in the exploration of highly evolved and complex natural gas in deep and ultra-deep formations. They cannot accurately determine the genesis and source, thus limiting the direction of exploration for such complex natural gas.
The Ar component abundance and 40Ar/36Ar isotope measurements were used in multiple correction methods. Combined with known geological data, the source rock age and main source rock of natural gas were determined by the radiogenic 40Ar abundance value. Measurements and corrections were performed using a quadrupole mass spectrometer and a rare gas isotope mass spectrometer.
This study enriches the technical indicator system for identifying the genesis of natural gas and comparing gas sources, providing an effective method for determining the genesis and source of highly evolved and complex natural gas in deep and ultra-deep formations. It guides the exploration of natural gas in deep and ultra-deep formations and clarifies the main source rock strata and their contributions.
