Abstract

A geochemical and genetic classification has been developed for the hydrocarbon gases of the coal and coal-and-oil-and-gas-bearing basins of East Russia. Diverse forms of the natural gas transfer were identified. The principle quantitative gas-geochemical coefficients were distinguished for the purpose of the genetic classification of the hydrocarbon gases in the studied region.
