Noble gas and clumped methane data for samples from Anyue gas field, China (NERC Grant NE/T004452/1)
This dataset contains 6 tables covering all analytical data for samples collected from the Anyue gas field, central Sichuan Basin, China. Table 1 includes major gas species and stable carbon and hydrogen isotopes. Table 2 includes results for methane clumped isotopes and calculated methane formation temperatures of gas samples. Table 3 includes noble gas concentrations. Table 4 includes noble gas isotopic ratios. Table 5 includes parameters used in methane emission model and calculating total volume of methane emission. Table 6 includes gas composition and stable carbon and hydrogen isotope characteristics of major gases produced in the pyrolysis experiments (thermally equilibrated methane between 400~500 in theory) and working reference gas, and their methane clumped isotope values.

- Statement
- Samples for noble gas and CH4 clumped isotope analysis were collected using 10 mm diameter internally polished refrigeration grade copper tubes sealed with stainless steel pinch-off clamps on both ends. Additional samples for the analysis of gas composition, carbon and hydrogen isotopes were collected using stainless steel cylinders. Bulk gas content as a percentage was determined using an Agilent 6890N gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Carbon and hydrogen isotope values were measured using GC-IRMS of Agilent 6890N-Isoprime 100 and Thermofisher 1310-Delta V, respectively. Methane clumped isotopologues were measured by a tunable infrared laser direct absorption spectroscopy (TILDAS, Aerodyne). Noble gas abundance and isotopic ratios were determined by an Isotopx NGX noble gas mass spectrometer.
