摘要
Ethane, propane, and carbon dioxide show reversed carbon isotopic maturity trends in natural gas produced from the Barnett and Fayetteville Shales at thermal maturities greater than similar to 1.5% VRE. At this high level of thermal maturity, the iso-butane to n-butane ratio also reverses, suggesting wet gas cracking has occurred, generating more gas molecules in the same volume resulting in overpressure, and increased stabilized production rates in the Barnett. Hydrothermal fluids from the nearby Ouachita Thrust front apparently enhanced the maturity of the Fayetteville and Barnett shales. Water-hydrocarbon reactions at these high maturities may account for the isotopic reversals. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
