The ranges of the north and south Permian basins are from Legler et al. (2005). The range of the Carboniferous foreland basin is from Ziegler (1988), including the present-day southern North Sea Basin ...

Abstract In recent years, many oil and gas reservoirs have been discovered in the Jurassic Toutunhe Formation in the Fudong slope, Junggar Basin. The total reserve in the formation is nearly 100 ...

Hydrocarbons, which are an essential component of crude oil and natural gas, form under pressure and high temperatures in the deep ocean floor. In the Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California, ...

Determining the thermochemical properties of hydrocarbon molecules is important to understand carbon reservoirs and fluxes in the Earth. A computer modeling study published in the journal Proceedings ...

Many oxygenated hydrocarbon species formed during combustion, such as furans, are highly toxic and detrimental to human health and the environment. These species may also increase the hygroscopicity ...

The Vaca Muerta shale play, discovered in Argentina, contains an estimated 16 billion barrels of recoverable shale oil and 308 trillion cubic feet of shale gas, making it one of the top five ...

Chinese offshore operator CNOOC Ltd has made a significant hydrocarbon discovery at Bohai Bay offshore northern China, claimed to be the world's largest oilfield in metamorphic rock at deep reservoir ...

Hydrocarbon mixtures are extremely abundant in the Universe, and diamond formation from them can play a crucial role in shaping the interior structure and evolution of planets. With first-principles ...
