ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for on-site capture of methane at sea, for isotopic examination. Liquid and interfering gases are separated from the methane; the methane is oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water; and the carbon dioxide and water are isotopically analyzed for carbon and deuterium distribution to determine methane origin, as an aid to evaluation of hydrocarbon potential of an earth formation.
