Abstract
Gases from bottom sediments of the Laptev–Siberian Sea zone contain methane (up to 8.3047 cm3/kg) and its homologues (up to pentane including) totaling 0.0259 cm3/kg. The established values of the carbon isotope composition of methane (δ13С), the molecular weight of the hydrocarbon fraction, the weight concentrations of С1–С5 hydrocarbons and their ratios, the “wetness” and “transformation” coefficients of the hydrocarbons fraction indicate the presence of various syngenetic and epigenetic gases in different source rocks: bottom sediments, peatlands, coal, gas, and gas hydrate? deposits, solid bitumen, igneous rocks, and inferred oil and gas reservoirs. It has been established that the vertical and lateral distribution of hydrocarbon gases in sediments depends on the influence of a complex of geological factors: fold and fault tectonics, magmatism and seismic activity in the region, coal, oil and gas potential and bitumen content, organic saturation and lithological composition, hydrogeological, geocryological, and other conditions for accumulation of gases or their degassing.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Pacific Geology publishes the results of research on the Earth crust and mantle composition and provides articles on the geological structure and patterns of distribution of mineral deposits in the Pacific Ocean, marginal seas and continental margins. It discusses the topics of stratigraphy, sedimentology, magmatic activity, and seismicity. The journal deals with the problems of lithosphere plates tectonics, and offers the results of neotectonic, geomorphological, geodesic, environmental and mining studies in the Pacific region. The journal accepts theoretical, methodical and philosophical articles covering general issues of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geoecology and mining. The journal also publishes critical notes and comments, and reviews.
