  • According to measurement of carbon isotopes of gaseous alkanes thermally cracked from the hydrocarbon sources and oil under closed system pyrolysis, the results suggest that the reversal occurrence for carbon isotopes of heavy gaseous alkanses (δ13C2 > δ13C3 > δ13C4) would be caused by single thermal dynamics, whereas the reversal trends of δ13C1 and δ13C2 (δ13C1 > δ13C2) could not be observed.The natural gases in the Qingshen gas field are characterized by the less negative δ13C1 values, reversal series of carbon isotopes for gaseous alkanes and high R/Ra values (R/Ra > 1.0), indicating natural gases should have stemmed from multi-sources.Based on the correlation of R/Ra and CO2/3He, R/Ra and CH4/3He, the genesis of natural gases from the Qingshen gas field were identified.The hydrocarbon gases in the Qingshen gas field are a mixture of alkanes, in which the heavy gaseous alkanes were derived from the thermal decomposition of organic matters due to the high geothermal gradient, whereas mixing of inorganic methane into organic gas caused the reversal of the carbon isotopic trend of CH4 and C2H6.
