Natural gas geochemistry is a powerful exploration tool, especially in younger basins that contain biogenic gases. Analysis of natural gas provides data regarding the composition of gas and isotopic content. These tests help determine the origin and maturity of the gas and enhance understanding of reservoir continuity.
