The genetic identification of different types of natural gas is notably important for assessment
of its sources and exploration potential. The chemical and isotopic (C and H, in particular) …

The carbon isotope curve (δ 13 C n versus 1/n) is often used to evaluate the origin and
secondary alteration of hydrocarbon gases, but the factors that influence the carbon isotope …

Natural gas is dominated by low-molecular weight gaseous hydrocarbons (C1–C5) whose
genetic and diagenetic information is mainly obtained from stable carbon isotope …

Abstract The Thrace Basin hosts the second-largest natural gas and oil resource of Turkey.
Several mineable late Oligocene coal seams are located close to natural gas fields in the …

The Tertiary Thrace Basin located in NW Turkey comprises 9km of clastic-sedimentary
column ranging in age from Early Eocene to Recent in age. Fifteen natural gas and 10 …

Several series of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) experiments were conducted in a gold
tube system with montmorillonite K-10 loaded with Fe3+ and Ni3+ as catalysts. Four different …

Fluids venting from the submarine portion of the Marmara Main Fault (part of the North
Anatolian Fault system, Turkey) were sampled in Ti bottles deployed by submersible. The …

On continental margins, upward migration of fluids from various sources and various
subsurface accumulations, through the sedimentary column to the seafloor, leads to the …

The recent discovery of the large BZ19-6 gas field (condensates contained in an Archean
reservoir) indicates the occurrence of significant petroleum resources in deep traps of the …

The Oligocene clastic sequence of the Mezardere Formation (MF) with laterally variable
organic richness has long been known as a proven source of gas with minor oil …
