Download or read book Geochemistry of Noble Gases in Natural Gases written by Tao Mingxin and published by VSP. This book was released on 1996-12 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas geochemistry is a branch of geosciences which has developed considerably during the last decades. This book is a summary of the major results obtained by the authors during the past twenty years from their studies in combining geochemistry of natural gases with that of noble gases. This book focuses on the gas consitution of the noble gases helium and argon, their isotopic composition in oil/gas reservoirs in the major oil--gas-bearing basins in China, and their geochemical implications as well as the geochemical characteristics of noble gases and natural gases as the high-quality energy resources in China's oil--gas-bearing regions.
