Compound-Specific C/H Isotopic Signature of Ultra-Deep Hydrocarbon Fluids from the Shuntuoguole Area in the Tarim Basin, Northwestern China

The exceptionally low geothermal gradient (~2 °C/100 m) in the Tarim Basin, notably in the Shuntuoguole (STGL) area with depths exceeding 7000 m, has catalyzed the discovery of ultra-deep liquid hydrocarbons. Yet, the genesis of these hydrocarbons remains elusive, presenting significant challenges t...
