Geochemical methods of forecasting and searching for oil and gas fields. Tutorial

The structure and composition of the geochemical field of hydrocarbons formed in oil and gas provinces are considered. The processes of converting gas mixtures are highlighted during lateral and vertical migration, which occur not only mechanically chromatographic differentiation, but also with chemical transformations of gas mixtures in accordance with the laws of chemical thermodynamics. Methods of searching for oil and gas fields are presented: gas and bitumen, hydrogeochemical, microbiological, lithogeochemical, geothermic, radiometric.
For students and graduate students of geological specialties and faculties. It can be used by researchers and specialists of scientific and production institutions involved in the forecast, search and exploration of oil and gas fields
