CH4 isotopic ordering records ultra-slow hydrocarbon biodegradation in the deep subsurface

Josue J. Jautzy et al.

Summary: The study presents isotopic data of methane from Paleozoic-aged pore waters in an aquiclude system from the Michigan Basin, indicating internal isotopic equilibrium of methane and intermolecular H-isotopic equilibrium between methane and co-occurring non-gaseous n-alkanes. Various mixing and microbial metabolic models were tested to identify the possibility of methane production at thermodynamic equilibrium from the syntrophic degradation of sedimentary n-alkanes at ultra-slow rates. This research sheds light on the deep subsurface biogeochemistry and the potential of using clumped isotopes as a geothermometer.

Geochemical evidence for fugitive gas contamination and associated water quality changes in drinking-water wells from Parker County, Texas

Colin J. Whyte et al.

Summary: Extensive development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has increased energy production but also raised concerns about drinking-water quality in areas of shale-gas development. This study focuses on the potential contamination of groundwater in the Trinity Aquifer in Parker County, Texas, presenting a comprehensive geochemical dataset collected across three sampling campaigns.
