Journal Article
13 C-enriched carbonate precipitates reveal intense methanogenic oil degradation in the upper Wuerhe Formation, Northwest China
Journal: Geology
Publisher: Geological Society of America
Published: 13 August 2024
Geology (2024) 52 (11): 830–835.
... to the hydrocarbon-rich Mahu sag in the northwestern Junggar Basin ( Fig. 1A ). A petroleum reservoir was found in the conglomerate beds of the upper Wuerhe Formation (P 3 w; Upper Permian; Fig. 1B ). The formation was deposited in a subaqueous fan-delta environment and contains abundant mafic volcanic clasts from...
