Three genetic types of natural gases can be recognized according to the process of methane generation: (ⅰ) biogenic (bacterial) gas, mainly the gas formed by the decomposition of organic matter in sediments under the action of anaerobic bacteria; (ⅱ) thermogenic gas, mainly the gas formed by the degradation of organic matter in sediments under the action of certain temperature and pressure; (ⅲ) abiogenic gas, mainly the展开更多

This affinity between gas pool and content of inclusion in the same volcanic reservoirs demonstrates that magma-originated gases, both CH4 and CO2, have contributed significantly to the corresponding gas pools and that the assumed hydrocarbon budget of the bulk earth might be much larger than conventionally supposed.展开更多
