Adsorption-induced negative carbon isotope sequence in over-mature coal-type gas from the southwest Ordos Basin by Xiaoming Wu, Qiang Meng, Haiwei Zhu, Heng Zhao, Yu Xiao, Zhuo Guo, Mengting Zhang, Liyu Liu, Luxing Dou, Zhigang Wen

“…., ethane), with lighter carbon isotope signatures, preferentially desorb, resulting in a relatively light observed carbon isotope composition. Owing to its high abundance, the isotopic composition of methane is impacted relatively little by adsorption. (2) The anomalous geochemical characteristics of over-mature coal-type gas result in the failure of the negative carbon isotope sequence method for identifying inorganic gas; this also invalidates the criterion for classifying oil-type gas and coal-type gas based on thresholds of δ 13C2 = − 28‰ and δ 13C3 = − 25‰. …”
