Occurrence and Origin of H2S from Volcanic Reservoirs in Niudong Area of the Santanghu Basin, NW China by Xiangxian Ma, Guodong Zheng, Minliang Liang, Dianhe Xie, Giovanni Martinelli, Wasim Sajjad, Wang Xu, Qiaohui Fan, Liwu Li, Li Du, Yidong Zhao

“…H2S was mostly dissolved in the formation water along with petroleum production in the study area. The δ34S values of on-well H2S samples varied in a range of 9.2‰ to 20.5‰, probably indicating thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) and/or thermal decomposition of organic sulfur-bearing compounds (TDS) as the genetic process for H2S. …”
