Natural Gas Accumulation Characteristics in the Linxing Area, Ordos Basin, NW China: Revealed from the Integrated Study of Fluid Inclusions and Basin Modeling by Yong Shu, Shuxun Sang, Yuxiang Lin, Huiming Zheng

“…Petrographic analysis shows that fluid inclusions can be classified into 5 types: aqueous inclusions, hydrocarbon-bearing aqueous inclusions, hydrocarbon inclusions, crystal-bearing aqueous inclusions, and aqueous-carbonic inclusions. According to the statistical analysis of homogenization temperature and salinity of fluid inclusions, combined with the burial-thermal evolution, the study area was divided into 3 areas: the inner-magma baking area, the middle-anomal thermal area, and the outer-normal thermal area. …”

Methane hydrate systems off South Makassar Basin, Indonesia by Feisal Dirgantara, Susilohadi Susilohadi, Mohammad Andri Syahrir Iskandar, Yudha Arisandhy Sintuwardhana

“…Identified through the interpretation of bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs), seafloor topography, and structural features on seismic reflection profiles are five primary play types: polygonal faults type, slope type, buried fold type, buried carbonate mound type, and sediment waves type. The distinctive characteristics of BSRs in this region can be summarized as follows: (1) predominantly located beneath topographic highs and basin depocenter, (2) typically displaying a series of high-amplitude dipping reflectors beneath BSRs, (3) the distribution of BSRs is not always continuous and is not always parallel to that of the seafloor, and (4) the presence of blanking reflection above BSRs is variable. …”
